A team of specialists is assessing the safety of the Hopewell Rocks before the site opens to the public in two weeks.

Stephen Woodley, the president Woodley and Associates, spends four days inspecting the rocks every spring.

"Knock down any loose rocks or trees that are a safety hazard that have loosened up over the winter,” said Woodley. “We also advise on what areas to cut off because there are some areas that we can't make safe."

The site garnered international attention in March when 200 tons of rock came tumbling down from one of its most famous formations.

“We'll have a few new closure areas this year, obviously around Elephant Rock because that was quite a large fall,” said Woodley. “But it's not outside the normal. If you look back over the last 30 years here, there's probably been about four or five falls of that size.”

Supervisor of interpretative services at Hopewell Rocks Kevin Snair says there have been several improvements since the recent rock tumble.

“The really good news is the passage way between elephant and the mainland, they've declared safe so our guests are going to be able to go through it," said Snair.

Though the park isn’t officially open, it’s already attracting visitors from all over the world.

"I'm from New Zealand, just came here to have a bit of a look around and enjoy the area," said tourist Matthew O'Connell,

"I read something about the park online, on the internet, and the pictures are very beautiful so I decided to come here," said German tourist Agnes Seemueller.

Snair believes the collapse of Elephant Rock could lead to an increase in returning visitors.

"I expect we'll see a lot of people that have been here before saying, ‘Hey, we should go down and just see how things have changed since the last time we were here,’" said Snair.

And those visitors can expect a safe experience, as long as they follow the rules.

"It's probably riskier driving here than being here,” said Woodley. “As long as you come and enjoy the place from the beach."

An average of around 200,000 people visit the site every year.
