Safety alerts: Bingi Dreaming track - Closed and open coastal lakes and lagoons
Bingi Dreaming track crosses openings to several Intermittently Closed and Open Coastal Lakes and Lagoons (ICOLLS). Openings of these lakes and lagoons are often unpredictable and can be quite dramatic. Please be aware that although lakes are usually only open for short periods (weeks), they can be impassable when open.
The Coila Lake opening is at the southern end of Bingi Dreaming track. Please check if this lake is open before you set out. If the opening is impassable, you won't be able to access the village of Tuross to complete the walk.
Walkers should manage their arrangements for start or finish point at the southern end as Coila Lake is now open to the ocean and the track is impassable to/from Tuross Head. Walkers can join the walk at Bingie Point.
