Location
Kozz - by the looks of things, just north of the Eastern Freeway bike path, about 1km east of the Chandler Highway. Easily accessible by bike. TAlex has already been there so may be able to shed some light when awake.

Plans
Talex rolled on out there first thing in the morning. Like, literally first thing, in literally the morning. Literally.
Kozz is planning to head there middayish (the -ish bit being the operative word). It looks like it's on the river bank, but from Talex's photos it may be out in the midst of the river? If it's on the golf course...well....things might have to get a bit golfy this afternoon.

- Kozz My bike's in storage and I am staying just too far away to run there (about 17km round trip according to Google Maps) so I was stuck with the old hydrocarbon burner. Which is fine, because the dog could come along too.
I tried to get in from the Fairfield end of the concrete path, but there's no parking anywhere near it aside from the Guide Dog training place, and I figured they'd get suspicious if I nonchalantly rocked up with a dog and walked off in the other direction, so I went for an explore of the surrounding suburbs to try and find a good entry point. After missing about seven freeway exits and fielding irritated calls from my partner (we were moving house today and I was kinda supposed to meet her at the house - whoopsy) I found a park just 600m from the hashpoint. Straightforward stroll to it; found the hashpoint; as I was taking the photo, Kozz's dog launched himself bodily into the muddy Yarra River which was about 5 metres away. Not impressed. Woolly dog + Yarra river mud = Yarra mud EVERYWHERE.
Anyhoo, I left a hashmarker in organic local materials (tree bark), finished my Squishee Slurpee and rolled on home. Or tried to, at least. Stupid Christmas traffic. I'll upload photos when I can.
