Closed parks: Kemps Creek Nature Reserve closed

This park is closed due to Phytophthora contamination, unless the closure is otherwise extended or removed. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-programs/fighting-invasive-phytophthora ; 

How you can help

To prevent phytophthora infection and spreading in parks and at home, try these hygiene tips:

  • Start your trip with clean, dirt-free, dry gear (including shoes, bike tyres, camping gear, vehicles)
  • Use the boot wash or scrub stations provided – these capture contaminated water or control flow to septic or sewage systems where root rot will die
  • Stay on formed tracks
  • Follow instructions on signage
  • Clean your gear again when you get home – try a solution of 70% methylated spirits or ethanol, 30% water, and wash straight into the septic/sewage system. You may want to keep a spray bottle in the car.
