Safety alerts: 4WD access in Brindabella National Park

Trails in Brindabella National Park can be extremely challenging in all weather conditions. Steep gradients, loose surfaces, and limited traction make access difficult in both wet and dry conditions.

Caution is advised if you are travelling to the following areas:

  • McIntyres Campground
  • Lowells Flat Campground
  • Flea Creek Campground and Picnic area.


Access to both McIntyres and Lowells Flat Campground, requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle with low-range capability, off-road tyres and a driver with 4WD experience.
 

There is very limited to no mobile phone reception in these areas to call for assistance. Recovery, if required, will be difficult and costly.

Trail closures may occur at short notice. Always check the NPWS website for updates before travelling.

Plan ahead and drive safely.

Safety alerts: River crossing to access Big Hole walking track - extreme caution advised

Access to The Big Hole walking track requires a river crossing of the Shoalhaven River.

During periods of rain, water levels of the river crossing may become too deep and fast flowing to pass, and extreme caution is advised. Visitors should not attempt crossing the river during major weather events or during prolonged periods of rain, when river levels can rise rapidly.

NPWS advises walkers to plan ahead and check the river levels in real time at https://realtimedata.waternsw.com.au/water.stm?ppbm=215008|215_SHOALHAVEN|SURFACE_WATER&rs&1&rslf_org before setting out.

Safety alerts: Flea Creek Access

Access to Flea Creek is restricted to capable 4WD vehicles only.

The approach via Gentle Annie Trail is very steep - dusty when dry, and muddy when wet, which significantly reduces traction.
While many vehicles can descend this trail, without a properly equipped 4WD you will not be able to climb back out.

- Conditions worsen in both dry and wet weather, creating limited grip for tires and increasing the risk of becoming stranded.
- There is no mobile phone reception in the area.
- If you become stuck, arranging recovery will be difficult and costly.

Ensure your vehicle is a high-clearance 4WD with low-range capability before attempting this route. Plan ahead and avoid unnecessary risk.
Do not attempt access in 2WD or AWD vehicles.

Safety alerts: Bendethera Valley Campground - Safety Alert

Please use extreme caution if traversing the river crossings and check weather conditions regularly prior to your trip in this area.

During periods of rain, water levels of the river crossings in to the Bendethera Valley campgrounds may become too deep and fast flowing to pass, and extreme caution is advised. Visitors should not attempt crossing the river in vehicles to access the campgrounds during major weather events or during prolonged periods of rain, when river levels can rise rapidly. It is never safe to drive, ride or walk through flood waters. You should check the weather forecast and NPWS website for advice prior to setting out to this remote campground, and if severe weather is forecast, reconsider your trip.

For assistance during severe weather visit the NSW SES website. In life-threatening situations call emergency services on Triple Zero (000).
