And this latest from the Grampians Park Recovery Update which has just arrived :

Mt Difficult Range, Wartook basin, Hollow Mountain, Summerday Valley and Coppermine Track areas – remain closed

The above areas will remain closed primarily to provide the opportunity for these fragile areas to regenerate. Visitor Safety is also an important consideration as sites have been severely impacted by the fire, leading to unstable rocks, trees and soil. The dry conditions have also lead to minimal ecological regeneration. Parks Victoria expects that these areas will remain closed until Spring 2015 to aid regeneration and reduce the visitor risks. In the meantime, Parks Victoria is reviewing visitor facilities and experiences across the Mt Difficult Range, including hiker camps, to ensure sustainable and improved infrastructure is provided to better provide for increased visitation into the future.
