A Victorian national park that has been closed for seven weeks during the hunt for alleged gunman Dezi Freeman has finally been reopened, but with restrictions.
It has been 49 days since Freeman allegedly opened fire and killed Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson, who went to execute a search warrant at his remote property in Porepunkah on August 26.
He was last seen fleeing into the bush around Mount Buffalo, with the nearby national park becoming a focus for officers and search crews.
The Mount Buffalo National Park has remained shut ever since due to the ongoing police operation, but has been partially reopened today after staff checked all the facilities.
Most of the popular visitor sites, trails and roads are now accessible
