We had some great news from Joel Bloom (Post Office Hill Action Group). Some years ago the late Dough Ralph & FOBIF advocated for the inclusion of a wildlife underpass in the construction of the freeway. Joel discovered that it is well used. He had been exploring the Taradale/Metcalfe Calder Fwy wildlife underpass area and found that wombats are using it (lots of tracks & scats), along with roos and deer (piles of deer poos!). In related news, he saw a mother and joey wombat on Golden Point Road, Chewton. Even more reason to slow down on the roads, particularly at night.
