Alternate route for Southbound advised

Southbound organisers have encouraged people travelling to the South West to use alternative routes after the fire in Waroona closed sections of South Western and Forrest highways.

“We are working with the WA Police and Department of Fire and Emergency Services and will provide more updates after we have spoken to them in more details later today.”

Forrest Highway is closed between Raymond Road and Pinjarra Road.

South Western Highway is closed between Coolup and Johnston Road.

Old Coast Road is closed between Old Bunbury Road and Forrest Highway.
