Immediate Release
Parks Victoria is pleased to announce that the sections of the Australian Alps Walking Track that were closed as a result of the 2006-2007 bushfires in the Alpine National Park have been re-opened to walkers.
A meeting to advance the Australian Alps for recognition as an international tourism destination will be held in Canberra on Tuesday, which is also International Mountain Day.
A bid to have the Australian Alps included in an international tourism campaign has received a push with the announcement by Tourism Australia that it will fund an ‘audit’ of the range of experiences the Alps region has to offer.
After being closed for almost half a century the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has reopened Yarrangobilly Caves House in Kosciuszko National Park for overnight accommodation.
