Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) will be conducting planned burns (weather permitting) from Friday 6 October to Sunday 8 October 2026 (dates inclusive). As part of the fire management program for Gadgarra National and Wooroonooran National Park.

During this period, the Windin Falls Track and Mailman's Tracks will be CLOSED.

For your safety and the safety of authorities, please slow down and observe all directions and signs and directions from Rangers, and do not enter closed areas.

Smoke may be seen in the vicinity of Butchers Creek and Topaz. Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating effects of smoke inhalation.

Planned burns are vital in promoting the ecological health, biodiversity, and the conservation of species and habitats. They also aim to mitigate the risk and intensity of bushfires and their potential impacts on communities, infrastructure, parks, and forests.
