TAIPAN/SPURT WALL TRACK WORKING BEE : The Taipan/Spurt Wall track in the Grampians is suffering from the traffic its receiving so a working bee has been arranged to tackle three areas in particular. As well as the track, the floor of Spurt Wall needs some stablizing to contain the soil/rocks. Working bee date 22nd September, 2007. Stay tuned. UPDATE: A successful day seeing all the work we had planned, finished. Massive thanks to all the volunteers who, before any work could commence had to haul all the timber up Flat Rock and then up the access track to Spurt Wall. The work we achieved will lessen the impact we have on the area and help to control the erosion issues. Thanks all!

BUNDALEER : Following the 06/07 Bushfires in the Grampians, The Bundaleer was one of the areas badly damaged. Before it could be re-opened, the VCC with Parks Victoria organized a working bee to rehabilitate and re-align the access track to the cliffs. Also, due to a cultural heritage listing, a floating boardwalk and removable cairn(replacing a climbers rock cairn) was constructed under the climb 'Manic Depressive' so that climbers could still access the climb. This site is very important to the Jardwadjali and Djab Wurrong people and we thank them for allowing us to share the area. Please respectfully keep to the boardwalk.

Red Rocks/Ben Nevis Bushfire damage : Following the recent bushfires at the Red Rocks/Ben Nevis area, a new access track has been established from the car park. Due to the damage and lack of groundcover, accessing Abseil Gully directly uphill from Hanglider sign across the slabs proved treacherous, with the loose soil. Please veer to the right at the sign and follows cairns.

Grampians Bush Camps : Bush campsites in the Victoria Valley, Grampians are curently closed until further notice. Many of the sites need to be rehabilitated by revegetation, delineating the camping area from the bush so as to control the creep of the campsites further into the bush. The bushfires and ensuing drought have meant that regrowth is very slow to take hold, Work will hopefully begin on them soon to have them open for 2008. UPDATE: 5 of the official bush camps in the Victoria Valley will be open for Easter 2008. These are in the Mt Rosea and Bundaleer area. They are Tower Hill,Stony Ck Rosea Track,Rosea Views,Stony Ck Road Two, Stony Ck Road One. Please see the map for location and observe the specific fire rules for each site. Other than these camps, bush camping is still banned in the Victoria Valley, possibly until later this year.
