Checking for current track closures - Resources / Links

Wed 10 Jul, 2013 10:35 pm

Having tried unsuccessfully to do the Mt Maurice walk/climb today, I belatedly checked for any notification we should have checked before leaving home, and found
East Diddleum Road at South Springfield is closed between Prosperity Road and Meredith Road to allow for a harvesting operation from 8 July till 2 August 2013. Alternative access is available via the Sideling and Meredith Road. (posted 27/07/13)
on the Forestry Tasmania website -
http://www.forestrytas.com.au/visiting/road-closures.

Thought it might be useful to provide that link and also the Parks Tasmania Track, Campsite and Reserve Closures and Re-openings -
http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/?base=7785, partly as a reminder to myself to check before future walks but for others who may be caught.

Does anyone know of any other sites which may be useful for this purpose?

That Parks one is a good one to have a quick look at before venturing out.

Hey Chris, I think Parks are watching the forum & saw your post - I just saw this on facebook -

Excellent!
Another site to check, though http://www.dier.tas.gov.au/road_closures_and_delays was last modified on 13th June, and includes info on bridgeworks which were due to be completed by the end of June :o
Maybe someone in DIER will read this post and update it :lol:

Tas Police have info on road closures, the link might come in handy -

Parks got in contact with me earlier in the week to say the bridge at the pine hut will be closed for maintenance from July 10 till about the end of July depending on how long the job takes
