Finally, the Sturt Street path proceeds

The bike path down the centre of Sturt Street is in many ways the crown jewel of Ballarat's future cycling network. It will act as the spine of the network, connecting several suburban routes with a large percentage of Ballarat's workplaces, retail and hospitality - but by travelling along the Sturt Street gardens it will also be probably the most beautiful ride in Ballarat. Despite a lot of controversy fomented by people lying about the impact it would have on the heritage of the gardens, Regional Roads Victoria have stuck with the project and delivered the final designs for their section on Friday.

I'm back in Australia and have been quite busy getting my life organised again, hence the lack of posts (searching for rental properties is The Worst). Some more Travel Diaries and some more substantial local stuff should be coming soon, but just a quick post today on some news that broke last weekend.
