GOOD NEWS.
The worst of the rain missed the You Yangs.
Trails are OPEN today as normal.
ENJOY!
POSSIBLE TRAIL CLOSURES.
45mm of rain has fallen in 30 minutes this afternoon which is well above the trigger point for closing the trails.
Parks rangers will advise the official status of the trails in the morning and we will share it as soon as we receive the update.
In the mean time we hope the rain moves to where it is needed most to extinguish the fires.
Does anyone have access to a crane truck that can help the club move an empty 20 foot container with in the You Yangs? Distance for move is only 12km. Ideally on a Saturday or Sunday.
Please message the club if your able to help.
Thanks
