These burns aim to reduce the volume of forest fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas. This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires and provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration.
As a result, smoke may be seen in the vicinity of Castle Tower NP. Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions. Visitors and residents should close windows and doors and keep medications close by if suffering from a respiratory illness.
For more information, please call QPWS Agnes Water office on 0429 633 770.
Please observe all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and do not enter closed areas.
Stay up-to-date with Current bushfire warnings and incidents from Queensland Fire Department (QFD).
