You should do it--I, for one, would be interested! I'm always interested to see how other people are commuting.

Middleborough Rd, hey? Are you being inconvenienced by the train line works near the cemetery at the moment?

Maybe you can whip around under the Laburnum underpass? I went across the level crossing just behind the Box Hill Library a few weeks ago without a problem. Either way, you've got a detour on your hands.

Now you can't tell me that's not an interesting route! So let me know when you put your photos up!

The route is cool from lower plenty to ruffey lake park, before it gets boring. I'll try to take some pics on a nice cold day when i don't mind stopping lots I still struggle with the commute cause i've stacked on a few kgs over the summer. - gotta sort out a trainer too... god thats next to impossible to choose

While I'm at it, I should mention some other photo essays that I’m aware of, including fellow Melburnians eek, Tim Connor, smc and woowoowoo.

Plus a number of other photo sets and videos from around the world that I’ve found last year in April, April again, May, May again, and September. And there's also another one that just went up a few days ago.

If anyone knows of any more sets like this, I'd love to hear about them.

That was great. My commute is Rowville to Hawthorn, so I share some of your path. One observation, reading your comments, you seem to cross the 6th bridge twice. I mean, you have two 6th bridges. I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say....

I'm curious: is it possible to follow bike trail all the way from Rowville? I suppose you pick-up the Scotchmans Creek Trail at some point?

Yes, I know exactly what you're saying and thanks for that--found and fixed. Glenferrie Rd is supposed to be crossing number 7, and I guess the suspended pathway should be counted as crossing number 8...

I know its a long shot but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks

if anybody else fancys doing the honours I'd be grateful, cheers
