The short version
H5 bird flu has been detected at Barunguba Montague Island Nature Reserve, leading to the temporary closure of hard-roofed accommodation to prevent disturbing wild bird populations and reduce disease spread.
Why this matters — from Rex
Do not plan to use hard-roofed accommodation at Barunguba Montague Island Nature Reserve and avoid contact with any sick or dead birds to prevent the spread of H5 bird flu.
