Closed areas: Urumbilum Falls timber bridge closed - Bindarri NP

The timber bridge which provides access from Urumbilum Falls Carpark east across Urumbilum Creek to the Urumbilum Falls Day Use Area is closed.

 

This closure is necessary due to the surface fill on this elevated timber bridge eroding, causing it to be unsafe for walkers. 

 

For alternate access, options are to use the shallow road ford adjacent (only in times of low water flow), or alternatively consider the flagged walking track to access Urumbilum Falls. 

 

NPWS will be rerouting and improving the walking track access to Urumbilum Falls as part of the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk over the next two years. This project is already planned and funded, with on-ground work underway in other sectors.
