After talking to Parks Victoria today it looks like out major trip for the year will not be to Victoria. It sounds really bad and most of the National Parks are all closed and most tracks inaccessable. Parks Victoria could not give any timeframes as to when the affected areas would be reopened but doesn't sound like it will be anytime soon.

Any other ideas for major treks to do. We have 16 days and leaving from the Gosford Area (1 hour north of Sydney). We might even go up to visit the Jimmyb National Park.....

As a follow up - I was up at Stirling and Craigs Hut on Mon. That area is open and while it provides some awesome views, the driving is pretty tame. We did drive a few tracks NW of Stirling, incl Mine Ck, Westons, Mt NO.3, Buttercup Jeep and Kings. You are not permitted anywhere in the Alpine National park which cuts out most of the driving.

The police have set up a 1800 number which has a recorded message (1800 444 343). If your tck is not mentioned - you are allowed to drive it.

Does anyone have any good maps of this area? I have a friend who wants to do this track.
