Community members are encouraged to continue enjoying the sections of the trail that remain open, whilst keeping an eye out for our not so friendly neighbours 🐊.For your safety:🛑Do not enter the closed sections of the trail👀Supervise children at all times🐕🦺 Keep dogs on a lead and well away from the water’s edge🐊 Always stay Crocwise and assume crocodiles are present👁️ We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates once water levels recede and the area is considered safe for public access.🙏 Stay safe, everyone.
