Tracks & parks

How do you actually check track closures before a Friday knock-off?

I am trying to get out of the habit of trusting a Facebook pin from 2022.

For desert parks I start with the SA desert parks bulletin, then Parks Australia if it is a Commonwealth park, then a phone call if the page is stale. For state forests I use the local forestry / NPWS page and still assume a storm can rewrite it overnight.

What is your order of operations? I want a board habit we can point newcomers at — not a secret group.

WA: Parkstay / DBCA alerts, then the local visitor centre if the HTML looks abandoned. Then I assume a grader or a storm can still rewrite Friday.

Parks Victoria first, then the alpine resort pages if I am near them, then a call. Facebook is entertainment, not a permit.

NSW: NPWS park alerts + Forestry if it is a state forest. I screenshot the alert with the date so I cannot gaslight myself later.

This is the habit we will point newcomers at. Official page, then a human, then humility.
