Just got an email, due to fire risk (fair enough looking at the upcoming forecast.. And current example) road from the clearance bridge and cob cottage are locked. (how it is in winter I believe)
All hunting permits cancelled

Got the same email. Doesn't sound good for any Feb permits but hopefully re-opened before the roar. Raining in Hanmer yesterday but nothing at the Awatere end. Not much sign of rain in the forecasts
Crap, was going to do the drive through there in a couple of weeks, wonder if the road thru rainbow is still open.
