WEST HEAD & MCCARRS CREEK ROAD - WEEKEND CORONAVIRUS CONGESTION

  • The need for “essential” family outings has now switched to the Ku Ring Gai National Park using the McCarrs Creek-West Head Road.

  • Recent Sunday’s have recorded in excess of 400 cars through the (bottom) McCarrs Creek Road toll booth by 12.30pm. On the weekends - best be off the West Head Road by 9.30am and only use the Akuna Bay Road loop (in both directions).
