"Q. Will all areas be accessible? The Queensland Police along with the local government authorities and the Dept of Transport and Main Roads will be assessing the risks to community safety of certain locations and travel routes which may result in site and road closures. These will be well advertised in the weeks leading up to the eclipse. Eclipse watchers must abide by these instructions for the safety of all."
I spoke to someone from the Cook Council earlier in the year and one road they were
considering closing was the Mossman to Mt Molloy Rd. The police had concerns about large traffic volumes on a narrow winding road in the dark. Apparently no final decision has been made.
