This alert applies to the following parks:

The Kin Kin Creek pedestrian bridge, which links Elanda Point to Figtree Point on the Cooloola Wilderness Trail, has been washed away during previous flood events. As a result, there is no pedestrian access across Kin Kin Creek currently.

A temporary alternative start and finish point for the Cooloola Wilderness Trail is available at Harry’s Hut or the Boronia Walk. Parking is available at the Boronia Walk trailhead.

Closed areas/walking tracks:
• Cooloola Wilderness Trail – pedestrian access across Kin Kin Creek between   Elanda Point and Figtree Point

Access to Mill Point and Kinaba from Elanda Point is not affected.

QPWS is currently assessing options to restore access.

Swimming across this creek is strongly discouraged due to the presence of submerged objects.

Please monitor park alerts on the department's website for updated information.
