Ngungun track closure extended
The current major upgrade by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) of the Mt Ngungun summit track at Glass House Mountains has been extended.
“QFES has this great ability to rescue people but it is important people take every step possible to ensure they won’t need our help,” he said. “Walkers, hikers and climbers should know the area they are planning to visit, understand how easy or difficult the terrain might be and always take the right equipment.” Mr Wassing said it was most important that walkers, hikers and climbers evaluated their personal ability to undertake these activities before they started to ensure they did not become the person that needed rescuing from our mountain areas. “Before leaving they should check the weather and remember not to enter steep terrain if it is wet or rain is forecast. “They should also tell someone where they are going, how long they will be and stick to the planned route,” he said.

Work on the upgrade started on April 8 this year with an initial projected completion date of July 27. With much higher than average rainfall and prolonged wet weather through May and June, it is anticipated that the track will be closed until Saturday, August 31. In order to complete the works as quickly as possible, visitor access will be restricted for the duration of the works. All tracks, firebreaks and entry points will be closed to public access during this time. QPWS thanks visitors for their patience and apologises for any inconvenience. As an alternative, visitors are advised to use the extensive trail network at the nearby Tibrogargan section of the Glass House Mountains National Park. Signs and barriers are in place at the car park on Fullertons Road. For your safety, please obey all signs and directions from authorised officers on site and do not enter closed areas.
