Extreme weather conditions such as bushfires and heatwaves may occur during the summer months while storms and floods can be a threat during the rainy season. Visitors to the area should be aware of any fire or weather warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology and the NSW Rural Fire Service. It is important to have an emergency plan should the need arise. Additionally, it is recommended to take extra care when hiking or exploring the area's national parks as the terrain can be challenging and remote.
