This alert applies to the following park:

Please be advised that access to the Diggings Camping Area is currently impacted due to deteriorating road conditions on Diggings/Hazelwood Road . These conditions have arisen as a result of Cyclone Koji and ongoing adverse weather events in the region.

Sections of Diggings/Hazelwood Road have significant road ruts and potholes, exacerbated by significant rainfall experienced during recent weather events.  

For your safety, we strongly recommend exercising caution when travelling in the area. Visitors are encouraged to:
-  Check road conditions before travelling.
-  Avoid unnecessary travel if conditions worsen.
-  Use suitable vehicles for unsealed and challenging road conditions.
-  Follow all signage and directions from local authorities.

QPWS is working with the owners of the road towards a solution to restore suitable access to the Diggings Camping Area.

For your safety please proceed with caution along all park access roads.
