One of the first posts that I put on this site, over a year ago now, I put on this site was about Mother Nature. Years ago I walked along the the track, from the in-laws in to town, not long after a storm , I cant remember which one, had ripped through the lakes and had devastated much of the area. As a result a number of bridges and a tunnel or two were damaged or destroyed. Well its been a while, well over a year, since it all happened and I was walking back down the track and there have been a few changes, not any real progress but changes none the less.

Fences have been rebuilt and paths re-laid, however, the bridges have been removed. No doubt cut up for scrap, which is a real shame, as many of them were the original Victorian bridges and added some real character to the walk. They will probably be replaced with modern, environmentally friendly things, that will be bland and boring, or by some architect envisioned monstrosities. Its nice to see progress, but I wonder when they will get around to replacingy the bridges themselves.
