Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 24 Sep

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

From NPWS, please note;
We will be conducting a prescribed burn on Saturday the 25th, weather permitting, in the Diuris block opposite the primary school on Scenic Drive. As a result the Diuris track will be closed to mtb and Scenic Drive will be closed to vehicles. The Diuris track will also be closed on Sunday as crews continue to patrol the block. In the interests of public safety we recommend that bike riders/walkers avoid the area over the week following the burn due to the presence of falling limbs and the possibility of falling trees.

A bit of water lying around as of yesterday afternoon, mainly good to ride but if you don't want to wash your bike head out to Awaba instead.
