The National Parks and Wildlife Service has closed Wombeyan Caves Road west of Bullio this afternoon due to a land slip.

Torrential rain has totally washed away a section of the dirt road just west of the Tallygang Mountain Road and it is impassable to all vehicles.

Wingecarribee Council says it is likely to be closed for sometime while the damage is inspected.

Meantime, NSW Forests has closed Penrose Forest Road to all traffic until further notice due to flooding of the causeway over Paddy's River.

There is also water over the causeway leading into Belanglo State Forest near Berrima and access is only available to 4WD vehicles.

NSW Forests is monitoring the condition of the road and it may be closed to all traffic if the rain continues

Was only down there one Sunday, was pretty chopped up in places with a lot of fallen rocks on the rd, especially the section from Wollondilly river to the Caves

Being a narrow road in sections I could see how this would happen, When we drove in there the road was in pretty terrible condition. It was dark and raining ust to add to the excitment! thanks for the heads up Bushie.

You can still get there via the Taralga Rd from Oberon or Goulburn
