Oceanview Track reopening
The Oceanview walking track in Burleigh Head National Park is scheduled to be reopened on 21 May, 2021 after it was closed due to landslips following heavy rain in March.
Senior Ranger Jess Rosewell said the landslips occurred in late March, and the Oceanview Track had already been closed by rangers for safety reasons during the rain event.
“I’m pleased to say the Oceanview track is scheduled to be reopened Friday afternoon for people who want to walk and simply enjoy the beauty of the national park and take in the breathtaking views,” Ms Rosewell said.
A popular Australian walking track has been closed indefinitely after last month s wild weather.
The Oceanview Walking Track - which cuts across Burleigh Head National Park on the Gold Coast in Queensland s south-east and boasts views of the skyline - has been closed by authorities after two landslips in late March.
More than one million visitors use the track annually but Queensland s Department of Environment and Science said the route was now unsafe for walkers.
The landslips came as the region was hit with life-threatening levels of rainfall, with parts of south-east Queensland receiving more than 500mm of rain in the space of two days.
