In other news, there are reports of a new surface on the Yarra Rail Trail between Killara Rd and Woori Yallock being incredibly hard, so please take care in that area, and let the Council know this surface is not suitable for an inclusive use trail. Hopefully, this can be rectified without any injuries being incurred.
