The photograph above really lifts my heart, and there are a number of great reasons why. The upgraded section of track has gone in around gum tree corner. This is a beautiful area of the lagoon where people can look down over the water, with long views and many wetland birds. The area is being enhanced with native plantings.
The wetland warriors are looking so smart in their new blue vests, which makes them more visible, identify them as workers at the lagoon and is a practical garment to work in, Rosanne Anderson was busy sewing pockets on them to give them greater utility.
Another positive about this work is that now the walkway around the lagoon is graveled all the way. The graveling of the track is positive in a number of ways. Hopefully people will stay drier without having to walk through the grass. The path will be more weather resilient, meaning less puddles. The area around this part of the lagoon is shared use and there can be tractors operating in the vineyards, the path helps to define where the walkers are.
The last great thing about the new track is the careful thought and installation that has gone in. Thank you to Simcox Construction and Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust, the track is part of their sponsorship of the project which benefits the whole community.
