Travel Tips & Alerts

For current Road and Track Conditions Australia-wide please see the ExplorOz Road Conditions Report.
These are updated at least weekly, by our roads coordinator Mike F (SA). Anecdotal reports from travellers can be added. Simply find the
track you wish to report on & click the comments section. Other relevant travel tips and alerts around the country are:
Australia Wide
As many State organisations have been closed over the Christmas New Year Break, and on leave, it has only been possible to provide limited updates to the Road Conditions Reports. Most are now up to date, however checking the date and time of the report will indicate its currency. QLD An ExplorOz Member has advised that the Cooloola Way is now closed. This is an indefinite closure as the track is in need of upgrades and rehab. We are in touch with the relevant authorities and will provide more information as it becomes available.
