Deviation for stranded campers near Burrinjuck Park
A road washout at Burrinjuck Waters Park prompted a deviation to be completed by Wednesday. A bulldozer and crew were expected to work today to install a temporary footbridge about miles from the park, with a full replacement likely in a couple of weeks. The washout isolated about 400 campers, forcing some to travel by sea or rail to Sidney while others stayed at the park. Supplies were limited, but boat deliveries could reach the area, and arrangements between Main Roads and the shire were set to continue.
