Work is still being undertaken to reopen the Pigeon House Mountain Didthul walking track and Mt Bushwalker walking tracking in Morton National Park and Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve.
They were damaged in the recent Currowan Fire, which burnt for 74 days and across 499,621 hectares and destroyed 312 homes.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is working hard to get the three tracks re-opened as soon as possible.
"These areas remain closed while the NPWS works to repair damaged infrastructure and ensure the safety of visitors from hazardous trees, " a NPWS spokesperson said.
"NPWS is working to have these three sites reopened later this year, depending on factors including favourable weather."

Meanwhile, the NSW Government is further extending its support to the communities recovering from bushfires with a range of fee-free vocational education courses following an overwhelming response to the initial suite of courses for the South Coast.
Fee-free courses being introduced on the South Coast include fencing, first aid, excavator operations and chainsaw and fell trees.
The training will be delivered across NSW by TAFE NSW and other registered training organisations.
For more information about the range of fee-free courses available to bushfire affected communities, visit www.training.nsw.gov.au or call 13 28 11.
