Other planned events: Closure of Old Grafton Road

Clarence Valley Council are conducting extensive roadworks closing the Old Grafton Road (Old Glen Innes Road) between Newton Boyd and Buccarumbi, and as such access to Chaelundi campground and nearby walks and attractions is by Chaelundi Road from the south only. To access Chaelundi Road you will need to either enter via Marengo Road at Hernani, or via Sheepstation Creek Road at Dundurrabin. Please be aware this may add significantly to travel time to and from the campground. At this stage works are scheduled until the end of June 2025.
