Ferndale Plantation Harvest and Haulage

PF Olsen Australia have provided Hume & Hovell with notification of the following activity:

PF Olsen Australia will be conducting harvesting operations at the Ferndale Plantation from the 20th November 2023 and will continue through to Winter 2024. Harvesting will occur through this period and will mean that log trucks will be hauling the timber along Tin Mines Fire Trail Road and Tunnel Road to Woomargama on a frequent basis.

Some disruptions may occur when the trees growing adjacent to the track are harvested which could mean occasional closures during this time. We will endeavor to pass on these notifications when received. If you have any concerns please contact PF Olsen.

Track Managers advise walkers to use caution when passing through this section as there will be increased vehicle traffic during this period. You must remain on the track and ensure you are prepared with sufficient supplies and water in the event that delays are experienced.

Please see the below map for the affected area.

Please note: the Hume & Hovell Track passes through numerous land tenures which means access and management may be impacted by the governing body. This includes chemical usage, harvesting operations, road works and maintenance.
