Location

It the old Melbourne sewerage outflow channel easement in Altona North.

Participants

Expedition

Expedition 1 - John

John rode to the hash and stared straight into the sun to take this photo.

Expedition 2 - Felix and Steve

We met up at my (Felix's) place and rode down Moonee Ponds Creek, then along Dynon Rd to the Maribyrnong River. We took Yarraville and then the snarled, convoluted roadways interrupted by the enormous West Gate Tunnel Project, which has engorged roads and bike paths along its route like Tetsuo from Akira.

Eventually, we found a backtracked way through a park and along some serviceable, industrial streets, south of the Footscray Cemetery. A few more residential streets and a hidden bike path cut between two house blocks and we were there.

Steve was kind enough to offer me a beer to celebrate. We sat in the fading sun for a quick chat and got back on our bikes for the return home. I took us an alternative route that followed my old way home from work (which used to be near there), passing through a Footscray street festival and the bustle of the Yarraville shops (not in that order).
