Can anyone tell me please if I can cross from Vic to NSW on Monument Track outside the winter closed season? Or is this crossing permanently closed?

NB. I mean Monument Track at approx. 36d 55.94mS by 148d 31.82mE which is east of the Snowy River and NE of Mount Taylor. I believe there is another Monument Track near Craigs Hut (and probably a few others scattered around for all I know :)

Can't find Narracoorte Bonz.

Mounment Track is NW of Amboyne Crossing (Vic) and leads into Kosciuszko NP, it's also about 20km west of Tingaringy (NSW).

Vic map 8624-3-3 Amboyne Creek

Hi Mike,

There is a locked gate on the sandy creek fire trail on the snowy river end. I have been on the corrowong road side and don't recall a gate but i would be surprised if there wasn't a gate. I have been fire fighting down that way a few times and know that you can access some of the trails from adjoining farms. Maybe give the NPWS at Bombala a call and ask about access to the Meramego area.
I also don't think any of the trails at that end of the park would be closed during winter as that area isn't a alpine area.

Cheers Dave

Thanks for that Dave, very helpful. I'll give NPWS a call too.

I'm surprised to hear that because it's in the Alpine NP on the Vic side and has Mount Tingaringy at 1450m a little to the SE. Perhaps it's just the way these things are classified for administrative purposes?

Hi again Dave

Just checked the Parks Vic website and all access from Vic to Monument Track is closed during the winter.

NPWS at Bombala may have it's hands full fire fighting at the moment so I'll give them a few days before I call.
