Closed areas: Tallowa Dam Road Closed
The end of Tallowa Dam Road in Morton National Park is currently closed due to cracks which have developed after multiple heavy rain events, creating the potential for a landslide. The closure is located approximately 1.5km east of Tallowa Dam crest.
There is no public access to Tallowa Dam. Paddlers must exit the lake at Beehive Point or Bendeela.
The road will be closed until at least mid-October, to allow for essential geotechnical investigation work. This work is being managed by National Parks and Wildlife Service and we will update this message when we have more information in early October.
For more information, contact the NPWS Fitzroy Falls office on 02 4887 8244.
