I've heard that Clear Hill Road was closed after the 2019 bushfires, and reopened last summer. But I've also heard that the gate may or may not be shut at anytime. Can anyone who has been in recently report on whether the gate was shut? And if I was to get a key, would I contact PWS or STT? Thanks in advance

Was all good when I was there early October. I needed no key unless you I wanted to go all the way into Adamsfield. I just walked in.
PWS at Mt Field should be able to easily confirm

I was out there last month, it's all clear and open up until the last major intersection near the end just before where Smiths Memorial and the small huts use to be, there's quite a bit of wind-fall at the end past there... The road is in good condition and a standard car shouldn't have any real issues heading out there with appropriate care...

Has been open for about a year, but suggest taking a handsaw or chainsaw if you can. Every time we've been up there in the past year (three times from memory) there's been trees over the road, the last time we had to some awkward driving over one that was too big to shift. Have since bought a cordless Makita chainsaw
