Upper Snowy Creek bridge removed
17 May 2026
The upper Snowy Creek bridge has been removed from the Rees-Dart Track for winter 2026. Walking the track now involves a dangerous river crossing. The bridge is usually reinstalled mid to late November depending on avalanche conditions. First published on 18 May 2026.
Dart Track closed due to slip
09 April 2026
A large slip in Dart Valley between Daleys Flat Hut and Chinamans Bluff has made the Rees-Dart Track circuit impassable. Dart Track is closed until at least December 2026 - we do not have an expected date or confirmed timeframe for re-opening at this stage. View a photo of the slip (JPG, 747K) . Trampers can still walk some of the track from either end. Be aware in winter (May- November), conditions on the Rees Saddle and Cascade Saddle change quickly due to snow, ice and avalanche terrain. There is a risk of being trapped at Dart Hut by alpine conditions if you don’t have alpine equipment and experience. This is a long-term alert. First published on 11 January 2026. Last reviewed on 10 April 2026.
