Closed areas: Phytophthora quarantine area – Barrington Tops National Park
Phytophthora is a mould that causes dieback in plants. It’s been found on the plateau in Barrington Tops National Park, predominantly on the Watergauge trail between Beean Beean and Black Swamp. The affected area is under quarantine with absolutely no visitor access.
Phytophthora is readily spread by mud carried by walkers’ shoes and mountain-bike tyres. There are boot wash stations across the plateau for walkers to use, to ensure their boots ‘Start clean, Stay clean’.
Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, please contact the NPWS Gloucester area office on (02) 6538 5300.
