We love the scenic drive to Orilleys.

Apart from the scenic forest drive for visitors/tourists and the travel times involved, I also come from the point of view as the chairperson of the 'Mountain Bowers' body corporate. If the road to O'Reillys is in some way damaged or obstructed our owners and their paying guest don't have an alternative route off the mountain as they use to have.

Duck Creek Road is one of the most treasured sections of Lamington NP for long-time visitors and should be maintained for both the safety and enjoyment of all.

We are regular customers of holiday accommodation on Lamington Plateau and we support local job opportunities

I'm signing because I have fond memories of going up this road 20+ years ago and believe it would be enjoyable to do it again on a regular basis as a local.

As a tourist, I have used this road previously, and really enjoyed the area, and a different way to travel to/from O'Reilly's. I understand that for locals, and their work, this road is very important (considering the terrain). Also, the road has significant historical importance. Please repair the damaged section.

Ease of access to Green Mountain section of Lamington NP. Alternative route off the mountain in times of bushfire or flood. Makes a tourist circuit and allows access for local employment purposes.

I have driven it before, see no reason for it to be closed to the public!

O'Reilly's and the Lamington National Park is a stunning and unique piece of Australia. Visitors should be able to explore the Duck River environs, and the locals should be able to use this route to get to O'Reilly's. Duck Creek Rd is a vital back-up to the main access in the event of bad weather or damage to the road.

reopen the road

Duck Creek Road is a wonderful scenic road to spend a day on, driving along, picnicking at a scenic point and as part of a great round trip way to visit the National park. It’s also important for there to be more than one way to the National park.

Was always a pleasant drive away from traffic with the bonus picnic spots. Please reopen.

because I strongly believe the continued closure is detrimental to accessing alot of starting points for bush walking

I want the rd open again

I'm signing because I love the history of the mountains especially the connection to the O'Reilly family - "Green Mountains" by Bernard O'Reilly

I've used this road and is needed.

It would be greatly appreciated if Duck Creek Road could be reopened as its closure negatively impacts on the local community. The hiking/tourist community, who provide a lot of benefit economically and recreationally would benefit from the road being reopened.

I believe it fair and should be fixed

Our family has a strong connection with the history of O'Reilly's going back to early settlement. Our visitors to the farm want to be able to visit O'Reilly's but no longer do so because of the extended travel distance. The opportunity for us to sell our farm products to O'Reilly's has been taken away by the closure of the road, as has the chance for our children to obtain work locally at O'Reilly's as generations of local kids have done before them.
We believe it also poses a safety risk in the event of a natural disaster, of which we seem to have an increasing number.

I’m signing this petition as I’ve grown up exploring the beautiful country with 4 generations, and slowly but surely more and more is getting locked away from most of us Australian citizens which is not right and is sad for the future generations.

I believe there needs to be a balance between humans and nature. We need to have ways to accommodate people within the natural environment rather than isolating huge tracts of land and keeping people out.

It’s a stunning drive & an alternative to the usual way to oreillys

It’s a well needed route through

I used to live in the area & still visit...it was a great 4wd track, def a tourist 4wd option too!

I travelled on this road soon after it opened. It will once again provide a much needed access road between the Kerry Valley and O'Reillys.

We use take kids up there nearly every second or third weekend to go feed the birds plus the road up is much more safer then the main rod to get up to the top

I would love to experience this renowned drive with my kids someday
