| Visitors are advised that the main walkway between the Visitor Centre and the Picnic Ground Area/Boat Ramp is currently closed. Walking access is available via the Jalkwarak track. This is a natural, unformed surface so those with mobility issues are advised to drive between the Visitor Centre and Picnic Ground Area/Boat Ramp rather than using this track. |
