6 August 2026 update: Diamond Head Road in Crowdy Bay National Park was graded from the northern entry point to Kylies Beach campground, in mid-July 2026. Diamond Head Road, to the south of Kylies Beach campground, has been patched with additional gravel and is currently being graded. Grading will then continue on Crowdy Bay Road with an anticipated completion date of 14 August 2026.
The roads will remain open during works, however please be mindful of changing 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.
