Yellomundee Regional Park update for 20 Mar

The track itself at Yelloundee is in reasonable condition. WSMTB raced there on Sunday 17 March. However, despite quite a bit of effort in the week before (including Friday PM), some of the track edges are still overgrown. The grass growth in Feb/March has been the highest for a number of years.

There will be another Track Work morning there on Saturday 6 April from 8am to around midday. All riders are welcome to attend and keep YRP in good order. Bring line trimmers, loppers, cutters, wheelbarrows, shovels etc. Please wear long trousers and boots.

As for the area north of Shaws Farm (responding to Smiley's comment: The bridges overs Shaws Creek were washed away in Feb 2012, and we have been discussing the replacements with NPWS. This was first held up by the delays in the Archaelogical Heritage Survey of the area, and more recently with NPWS being a bit reluctant to allow MTB in that northern area (as it was not mentioned in the Plan of Management). We have continually pointed out that MTB has been carried out in the northern area since the late 1980s. Hopefully progress will be made this year!
