Extreme fire danger & closures for Sydney National Parks
Today (October 10) RFS and NPWS are reporting an extreme risk of fires in many National Parks in Sydney and surrounds.
Eg. for Garigal National Park (Oxford Falls, Cascades, Bantry Bay):
ALL WALKING TRACKS AND TRAILS CLOSED THURSDAY 10TH OCTOBER
Due to the high fire danger predictions, all walking tracks and trails will be CLOSED ON THURSDAY 10th OCTOBER. Picnic areas will be open and the public may only use the gas/electric barbeques supplied by the National Park.
Locations affected: Cascades trail, Heath and Bare Creek trails, Pipeline and Davidson Trails, Natural Bridge track to Davidson Park, Davidson Park to Stepping Stone Crossing walk, Stepping Stone Crossing to Cascades
Many other parks around Sydney have similar warnings. West Head road in Ku-ring-gai Chase is closed for example which will mean access to many tracks in that park is impossible.
More details on NPWS and RFS pages:

Yellomundee Regional Park update for 10 Oct
I heard on the ABC News this morning (7am Thurs 10 Oct) that all National Parks tracks are closed due to fire danger.
I think it would be wise to stay clear of YRP today - not only due to fire risk, but risk of falling tree branches during the strong winds.
