This alert applies to the following park:

Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation rangers will conduct a cultural burn between 08 October and 13 October 2024 between Garry’s Anchorage and Snout Point, weather permitting.

As a result, smoke may be seen in the vicinity of the Figtree Creek, Garrys Anchorage, Dilli Village and Boonooroo.

Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating the effects of smoke inhalation.  Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions.
