    Eastern Alps Region - Vic Alpine National Park Track Closure's Reopening?

    Morning all,

    Mostly directed to any Victorian Members who might have some News from 4wd Club who assist with Vic 4WD Club & DSE Activities.

    I'm after information on Eastern Alps Region of the Alpine National Park Track Closures . . .

    Been planning a 4WD Trip down to Victorian's Eastern Alps Region of Vic Alpine National Park in the New Year, looking at taking in Mackillop Bridge, Ingeegoodbee Track, MacFarlanes Flat Track, Davies Plain Track through to Tom Groggin station.

    On the DSE Website, a large portion of the 4WD Tracks in Eastern Alps Region are currently closed due to Bushfire Damage from the 2019 Bushfires.

    Have sent an email, and tried Ringing DSE Offices in the area, but haven't heard back from anyone as yet, so just wondering if anyone in the group has heard any News on when this Region might be reopened?

    Get the Vic Traffic app. Tells you all road closures in Vic, Including tracks.

    Just tried ringing DSE in Erica to enquire about a specific track, all offices are closed until further notice, rang the option '0' and spoke with a guy in Melb, tedious, but he eventually found the info I was looking for, so hats off to him. I asked about why offices are closed , 'no idea'. Hope the app is accurate and up to date.

    Yes, and the vibration and motion activated cameras are there to catch the rascals, images straight to the satellite and in your mailbox before you get home - thats the modern world for you.

    What was the answer on trig track? I thought it was still closed from when those young people were killed there, would love to do that track again though.

    Chris it is closed, appears unfortunately at the normal seasonal gate that intersects with CMF track. I was hoping they closed it on the east side of the river to preserve access to the brilliant waterhole campsite, but no, typical DSE, they do the lazy and dumb thing and block it off at the same spot where yahoos rip the gate out of the ground every season.
