We've received a report of a cluster of fallen trees between Goldstone and Tyrley that is blocking navigation. Please bear with us while our team attends the site to assess the situation. Storm Goretti has impacted a number of our waterways, resulting in a high volume of incidents. Our teams are prioritising safety and are working to clear obstructions and reopen affected routes as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while these matters are addressed and will provide further updates as they become available.
