Mandatory helmet law?

IT'S OPEN!
The trail under Heidelberg Road is now open - since about Thursday it seems.
So you can now ride along Darebin Creek trail and connect to The Boulevard through Sparks Reserve
Looking East
Looking West
Now waiting for the rest of the connection to MYT

Nice bridge, looks like a hardwood deck. I hope it doesn't get slippery.

Darebin Council covers theirs with a non-slip coating. Hoping Banyule follows suit. The joys of a trail that cris-crosses from one council to another.

So, with all the excitement I misinterpreted "The Boulevard" as meaning Yarra Boulevard on the other side of the Eastern Freeway , and decided to try it out yesterday on my way home.KenGS wrote:IT'S OPEN!

After a bit of off-roading on my commuter at the 14km mark searching for a path somewhere along the red line, I figured I had missed something and went around:
When I arrived at the other end at the 21km mark, the path heading towards the freeway ends in a dead end:
A sign helpfully informed me that the missing 1.8km link would be completed over the next few years...oops, guess I was a bit early .
Will be a nice scenic ride once it's all completed - the wooden bridges will need the anti-slip treatment though.
