Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) will conduct prescribed burning activities between 01st March and 31st August 2024, as part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests. These burns are being undertaken to help protect life and property in the event of a wildfire.

Smoke may be seen in the vicinity of Tukkee Wurro (Indian Head), Champagne Pools, Waddy Point, Orchid Beach, beach camping zone 7 (Wyuna, Burad), and zone 8 (Marloo, Ocean Lake, Duling), as well as western camp zones Bowarrady, Awinya, Bowal and Wathumba.

Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating the effects of smoke inhalation.

Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions.

Please observe and adhere to all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and contractors, and do not enter closed areas or exclusion zones.

Your safety is our concern, but your responsibility.
