Those
photos were taken on December 9, 2017, and show the scenery and
environment in the wetlands, administered by Whitehorse Council.
This was a 2.5 km hike, starting at the car park off Belmore Rd, and included the Boardwalk and part of the Koonung Creek Trail.
A
Tender has been issued by Council for removal and replacement of the
Boardwalk, which is 110 m long and has an area of 260 square metres.
Howdy Bob, did not have to go to far for this one, amazing the Mont Albert area has such a lovely wetland to visit, beautiful area even if it is a small patch, thank you for sharing your excellent photos especially of that great look duck!!! Best regards! Michael
ReplyDeleteNice photos Bob. It's worth mentioning that volunteers from Greenlink Box Hill have been instrumental over the years in planting (from seed/cuttings propagated at Greenlink's own nursery in Wimmera St), weeding and maintaining this wetland. I'm not sure if this has continued to present day as Council support for such community projects appears to have been wound back. Minette Russell-Young and Brian Pell (co-founders of Greenlink) were instrumental in the initial planning and implementation of the wetlands, along with representatives from Vicroads and Melbourne Water
