Closed areas: Walking track and campground closures
Due to essential capital upgrades following the 2019/2020 bushfires, the Castle Walking Track in Morton National Park will be closed from 1 September 2025 to 30 April 2026.
This closure affects the following areas:
- Castle Walking Track and Car Park
- Cooyoyo Campgrounds

Although Long Gully Campgrounds and Byangee Walls Walking Track are not part of the upgrade works, they will remain closed for the duration of the project. These areas fall within the broader construction footprint, and access restrictions are in place to ensure public safety during the works.
The walking track upgrade works will include like-for-like infrastructure replacement, improved drainage, and erosion and sediment control measures to ensure long-term sustainability and visitor safety.

Safety alerts: Cycling Hazards in Conjola National Park
Cycle routes in Conjola National Park may currently be unsuitable for some cyclists due to recent roadworks. There are many sections of large ballast rock that have been used in boggy areas that may be difficult for cyclists to negotiate. It is hoped these will silt up over time and be more suitable for cyclists.
Take care and cycle safely
