Closed areas
Wild Weather causes temporary CLOSURE of Worimi Conservation Lands (Stockton Beach).
The Worimi Conservation Lands including Stockton Beach North of Newcastle have been temporarily CLOSED for all public access, due to the recent extreme weather creating a public safety risk.
Exceptionally high tides and large waves have caused severe erosion to Stockton Beach including deep flooding behind the fore dunes.
Wave action has eroded away the beach and fore dunes leaving steep ledges and large areas of very soft sand. There is insufficient beach remaining to allow for the safe traverse by 4WD vehicles, forcing the closure of the entire 32km long Stockton Beach.
Deep pools of water have accumulated behind the fore dune causing large areas of quick sand, making access to the area extremely dangerous.
Park closure signs have been installed at all entrances. NPWS will continue to monitor the conditions daily, and will re-open the park as soon as conditions improve.
Some Commerical Tours continue to operate in the Worimi Conservation Lands. Please call local commerical tour operators for tour details or the Port Stephens Visitor Imformation Centre 4980 6900.
For further information call NPWS Hun

Keep your eyes out for an official news release today or tomorrow on what is happening. I have been promised a copy of the release as soon as it is official, which I will then post up.

G'day folks,

I spoke to NPWS again today and hopefully I can give you all some good news tomorrow night.

I'm told we should be right to head back on Saturday, just waiting on the official documents.

As always soon as I get them will pass them on.

Cheers Brad.

G'day Folks,

Forbes will post the official release shortly.

Finally some good news.

Please see the attached file NPWS sent me today. The RVA is back open.

This is good news, however, given the situation, it is imperative people follow the rules and stay inside the RVA.

NPWS warned me all this week that if it was reopened and people where found outside the area it would load their gun.

Inside the RVA you will find 3 or 4 new flagged of areas. It took a great deal of effort to convince them to reopen. If people enter these new off limit zones, it will load their gun. These areas are of course the newly uncovered historical artefacts.

I know it sounds like I’m harping, but the facts now lie before us, if you are caught doing the wrong thing they will impose consequences, and of course load the gun for the consequence which will affect us all.

But back to the good news the beach is reopened as from Saturday morning, 8am. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact NPWS or myself for something minor.

Cheers Brad.

Most bikes I've seen out there in a while Smile
There's a few sudden drops and pools of water ,only couple of small sections of middens fenced off in the rva but was outta the way and didn't really notice..
You can't turn left at all from lavis down to the beach front ... Wasnt to badly rutted from 4WD's but the place was covered in quad tracks
NPWS had a check point setup in the carpark but all was good
