THE stream of hikers have returned to the Cherok To'kun Forest Reserve after its re-opening but they have been advised to be cautious as damage to the 3.6km tarred road caused by heavy rain remains unrepaired.

The landslide sections and eroded cliffs remain exposed, while sand and rocks still cover some of the road.
