@nrsamdb @nrsamdb we notice the Kaliwirra Trail in Moorook Game Reserve hasn't reopened since 2018, as in some trail closure signs are still up at the trailhead. Any news when the trail might re-open? Looks like a great place for a short walk to appreciate the floodplains

@nrsamdb No probs, thanks. We look forward to it re-opening, it looks like a great trail!

The River Murray Youth Council (RMYC) toughed it out in the rain last week to reinstate the Kaliwirra Trail in the Moorook Game Reserve. The trail has been closed since a fire destroyed some of the infrastructure. Well done RMYC! #samdb #nrm
