Safety alerts: Diamond Head Road - changed conditions and scheduled works

30th July 2026 update: Diamond Head Road in Crowdy Bay National Park was graded from the northern entry point to Kylies Beach campground, before the winter school holidays. Diamond Head Road, to the south of Kylies Beach campground, has been patched with additional gravel. Grading will continue south from Kylies Beach campground towards the Coralville Road intersection from 3rd August 2026, and then move to Crowdy Bay Road. 

The roads will remain open during works, however please be mindful of changed road conditions, heavy machinery, and workers on the road. Expect short delays, drive safely, and follow the directions of roadwork signage and workers. 

Diamond Head, Indian Head, and Kylies Beach campgrounds, and the Diamond Head walking tracks, are currently best accessed using Diamond Head Road from the northern park entry point via Laurieton/Dunbogan to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads. 

Crowdy Gap campground is best accessed using Crowdy Bay Road from the southern park entry point via Harrington to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads.

Stewarts Road to the Pacific Highway via Johns River is also available as an alternative route.
