Although there are areas burning within the containment lines and in some instances close the the fire boundary, fire spread has been minimal for a number of days following recent rainfall. The fire was assessed using ground patrols and infrared scans today, and monitoring will continue over the following days for the remainder of the fire boundary, ahead of predicted warmer conditions leading into Tuesday and Wednesday.
All walking tracks leading off Scotts Peak Road are now open including the Mt Anne area, Lake Judd Track, Port Davey Track.
Gordon River Rd remains closed at the Scotts Peak Rd junction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BEE KEEPERS
To gain access to areas that are effected by road closures please contact the Public Information Officer at the Incident Management Team at Cambridge, phone 6225 8327.
