Yarra City Council Mayor Stephen Jolly is a tool of the motoring lobby. His decision to make critical cycling infrastructure worse will have a severe impact on safety and amenity, as well as the environment. He can claim he's making a compromise as though he's doing the right thing, but we all know he's a knob who won't stand-up to fight RWNJs.

For over two decades, Yarra has been one of naarm Melbourne's best areas to walk & ride. A newly elected conservative Yarra council is eyeing up removing vital infrastructure

I spent yesterday evening watching the flying foxes at Yarra Bend as the sun set. They're among the largest members of the bat family and are super active at this spot along the Yarra River.

They occasionally skim the top of the river, mid flight, to cool down and get little drinks of water, then hang upside down in the gum trees along the riverbank. An incredible sight.

This always was and always will be Wurundjeri country. :firstnations:
