CLOSURE

Unauthorised trail between East Heathcote and Waterfall closed

The unauthorised trail between East Heathcote and Waterfall is formally and physically closed; access is not permitted. - Closure works, including signage and brush matting of the trail surface, were completed to encourage natural bush regeneration and clearly signal that the trail is no longer open to access. - The trail is directly adjacent to the eastern side of the rail corridor. Obey closure signage; penalties apply. Use only designated and clearly marked tracks within Royal National Park. Check current local alerts before your visit.
