Weather is a funny thing. Sheoaks received almost 60mm of rain this afternoon but Avalon only received 15. We have not received any official closure notice from Parks Victoria yet but if we do we will share so just keep an eye on this page before heading out.
Thanks to GMBC for the photo of the new boardwalk on track 18.If anyone was wondering why the new board walk was installed on track 18 hopefully this photo from Parks explains why 😁
