I checked out the “new” river walk in Porepunkah this morning. Most of it isn’t actually new, but I’m pleased to say it’s an improvement.
The track is wider and has a better surface; the blackberries are still along the bank though.
Last Wednesday’s storm brought down one tree on the pre-existing section between the old bridge and Solly Lane, but it’s easy enough the get around.
Unfortunately the new section from Solly Lane to Roberts Creek and the rail trail is almost impenetrable. There must be a dozen or more large trees over the track, some in clusters.
I was just able to crawl and climb through to where Roberts Creek joins the Ovens River, and both streams are running extremely fast after the rain.
