Thanks to a huge amount of hard work by NPWS after the Fires, lookouts at Govetts Leap and Evans Lookout, the Fairfax Heritage Walking Track and the Grand Canyon Walk have all reopened and images are being shared widely via social media to encourage visitors to return.

Caro Ryan has created an inspiring video of Porters Pass via Colliers Causeway – a walk and climbing area that that was not affected by fire – it has been shared widely! View it and share it from here

She’s also done an extremely inspiring video of walking the lush Grand Canyon Circuit after the Fires. You can even go canyoning again. View the video here
