Access to Hattah-Kulkyne camping

Peter, I suggest that you check directly with the rangers at Hattah. There is currently a large amount of environmental water being pumped into the lakes. The last I heard (last June) was that pumping would continue until about November. We were there for a brief stop in mid August. At that time both Hattah & Mournpall campgrounds were closed. The Hattah campground was largely under water. The water was up to the edge of the day visitor car park. The road to Lake Mournpall was closed at the information centre (12km south of the lake). It would have been flooded at the low points a few km north of the info centre. For those roads in the park that are open a Subaru should be ok. I used to drive a Subaru Liberty and never had problems on any of the roads in Hattah NP but I haven’t been along the Konardin track for a few years. It may be possible to camp along the Murray, not too far from the park. This use of environmental water should result in some great birding in the coming months as food supplies build up in the lakes. Cheers, Euan Moore.

Does anyone know if that means I can?t get in to the only campground open at Hattah-Kulkyne at the moment (said to be Lake Mournpall campground via Konardin Track). Cheers Peter Shanley Melbourne
