Flood Closures
Visitors are asked to avoid a number of areas in the Alpine National Park due to damaged bridges, land slips, fallen debris and/or wet slippery road and track conditions.

A full list of flood closures can be downloaded here.

i just checked the road closures & can't get into King Basin Track, closed from Pineapple Flat to King Hut, so will have to work out a new route for Easter trek.

That part of the King River last Easter was shoulder to shoulder. That will cause some confusion
