With the further easing of restrictions in Step 2 on Monday June 1st to include regional holidays in NSW in time for the long weekend, life is looking more and more normal.

Yes, we have a way to go before absolute normal but with zero new cases announced today by NSW Health we are on the right path.

One aspect of life that hasn't received much publicity is National and State Parks and the bush walks that we can enjoy over the Queens Birthday long weekend.

While it is not a normal full list there are three options available to you.

The Minyon Falls bushwalking track will open from Monday. Minyon has two options, the first being the short walk to the top of the falls looking over Nightcap National Park or the longer second option to walk to the base of the falls which will take about 4 hours round trip and does involve climbing rocks (Minyon Falls walking track).

Protester Falls will also open Monday and is an easier walk involving 1.4 km's round trip that should take about 1.5 hours Protesters Falls walking track).

The Big Scrub bush walk is open but National Parks has said that the access road is closed so you will need to walk in and back to your car.

For those interest in camping the Rummery Park campground will re-open on Thursday June 5 in time for the long weekend.

Bush walks that remain closed include Mount Matheson loop and Pholis Gap as they are still affected by last years bushfires.

A call to Rous County Council also confirmed that Rocky Creek Dam will remain closed for the time being although it could re-open very soon with deep cleaning the only stumbling block. A spokesperson for Rous County Council saying "we understand the communities desire to get out there but we do need to ensure the safety of people who visit the area".
