From the Trailwalker website...
Oxfam TRAILWALKER is on! However, due to the Total Fire Ban called for Friday 23rd March and under instruction from Parks Victoria, Victoria Police, CFA and SES, the section between CP3, Ferntree Gully and CP4, Olinda Reserve, is closed.
This is a high fire risk area and has been made off limits for the safety of all participants and volunteers.
Oxfam TRAILWALKER Melbourne 2007 is now an 88.5km event. All finishing times will allow for the omission of this section. The clock will stop upon your Check-in at CP3. It will restart upon Check-out at CP4.
Thank you for your understanding of this serious issue. Thank you to the emergency services and agencies for helping to find a solution that allows us to conduct this amazing event.
...which is a bit of a shit. I'm in two minds because it gets rid of the really hard stage, but it means that we won't really have 'done it' (both Marc and me have been reminded by our spouses that this does not mean we can do it properly next year).
The car shuttle between the two checkpoints is going to be fun...
