What “unverified suggestion” means
Someone added the place to OpenStreetMap, a free map anyone can edit. Trek Eleven has not visited it. It may be closed, private, full or in a different spot. If you find an error, fix it in OpenStreetMap so everyone gains.
About the government lists
A ring on the map is a place from a state government list: a rest area, or a State Forest recreation site. We show each list as supplied, with the month its data is from, and credit it below. These lists can be old, and a rest area is often day-use only, so check the signs. Where a list says a place is closed, we show its words and its dates.
Check before you go
Roads, fire bans, park closures and weather change quickly. Trek Eleven does not show live closures yet. Check these official sources before you travel.
- Live Traffic NSWRoad closures and roadworks
- NSW Rural Fire ServiceFire danger, total fire bans and incidents
- NSW National Parks alertsNational park closures and alerts
- Forestry Corporation noticesState forest notices and closures
- Bureau of Meteorology warningsStorms, floods and fire weather
