Bundaleer Fire impact & work project07/-8

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.
