Some people will whinge about anything, won't they.

Any road carved out of a rocky mountainside with have rockfalls in wet weather.

It happens everywhere including the Great Ocean Road & the Princes Hwy in Far East Gippsland.

Hi Plain Truth. The road is open and there is no problem. A little road works where this sign is may slow you down a few minutes. Don't get too stressed. The rocks shown in the picture in the Bairnsdale Advertiser were cleared off the road within a few hours.
