yes its the 2nd time Ive seen them there and the 3rd time Ive seen the fox in there. Previously I saw them over in the horse paddocks but they seem happy in Bruce's.
I saw probably the same one just the other side of the dip last sunday.
Right next to the dip - there's no obvious water source, but I see more wildlife in that section of trails than anywhere else on the yarra. I came across four wombats within a couple of hundred metres a while back, and there are loads of roos, foxes, birds, echidnas and rabbits.
Would have to agree, particularly the last couple of years. In the 12yrs prior to 2014, I had never seen kangaroos or wallabies between Belford Rd & the bat colony. Likewise fox sightings were relatively rare. These days however it seems like every 3rd or 4th ride (usually early mornings or late arv/duskys) I manage to either cross paths or spy a member of the hopping variety taking off thru the bush- generally only a single one, or occasionally two in close proximity to each other. Mostly wallabies & the odd Eastern. Not particularly uncommon to now find them in that Wilsmere Park area. The number of foxes I've seen between Gipps St & Belford Rd has definitely been on the steady climb over the years, particularly on the Yarra Bend Park & GC/bat colony side of the river.
Yep, very over the snakes!
Sun comes out, the birds are tweeting, the roos are out, life's good on a bike and you see things in a whole new way.
Sadly with them now being in the area with some regularity we'll no doubt be hearing of this happening more often.
Actually its Alphington, and I think most of the opposition came from Boroondara Council and the Golf Clubs.
Same same. It's sad that the government had to force the issue with legislation to acquire the land. Boroondara CC has fought this for 20 years on behalf of well healed stuck up residence.
