Three years and counting

A number of bushfire recovery projects have continued to stall, with areas in East Gippsland still without tourism infrastructure.
Parks Victoria rangers have rebuilt and re-opened a number of campsites and popular walking tracks across East Gippsland.
New facilities such as park furniture, barbecues, shelters and toilets are ready to use at sites like the Cape Conran Coastal Reserve and Muller campground.
Tracks including the Wilderness Coast Walk between Wingan Inlet and Shipwreck Creek have reopened after months of work to clear and rebuild tracks, steps and lookouts.
Ahead of Christmas, rangers visited reserves to remove dangerous trees and undergrowth to make them as safe as possible for the summer holidays.
The Banksia Bluff campground at Cape Conran, one of the most popular in the state, is looking better than ever thanks to work by rangers based at the park.
