Hi all, Am currently in Hillston NSW and just down the road from Willandra National Park Just thought i’d let everyone know that if your planning to come out this way, to visit willandra National Park…don’t bother. National Parks have had it shut for a month or so, we thought they had reopened it the other day, and went for a drive down the road a little way today to check it out, but… it still has a sign at the Willandra Homestead fence saying road is closed…not sure whats going on? Perhaps the people living on the property the road runs through are sick of the road being carved up by the traffic and have put a stop to it and an alternative route has to be made to get to the National Park….thats just a rumour i heard…don’t quote me on it… Anyway…just thought i’d let you all know… Regards Kirri ===============================

Hi Kirri, I checked the National Parks website and it seems that the access has changed; “Access now via Trida – Whealbah Road
Please note access to Willandra National Park has changed, and is now via the Trida-Whealbah Road.
If travelling from Hillston along the Hillston-Mossgiel Road, drive a further 10 kilometres west (total 53 kilometres) of the existing Willandra direction sign and turn north onto the Trida-Whealbah Road. Drive northwards another 20 kilometres to reach the park entrance, signposted on the right.
The camping area / homestead precinct is another 10.3 kilometres east, following the park road along Willandra Creek.
Accommodation is currently not available. Please contact the Griffith Office from September 2012 to check current availability.”

Hi Kirri,
I suggest that you give NPWS a ring at Griffith, 02 69668100. They will be able to fill you in. I would say the road may still be closed after recent rains. While not black soil, the ground in that part of the world goes pretty mucky after a bit of rain and stays that way for a surprisingly long time.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
