Merri Creek at AllExperts (471 words)
The Merri Creek is a waterway in Melbourne, Victoria.
Malcom Creek, Aitken Creek, and Edgars Creek are tributaries of the Merri Creek.
In the early history of Melbourne, numerous quarries were established along the creek to extract bluestone for the construction of many of the city's buildings.
Hillside Trails (2105 words)
NSAA is encouraged to take trail building approach that addresses specific problems of drainage and erosion to help retain the character of the trail for all uses and stop the deterioration of the tread.
The present condition of the trail surface prevents adequate grooming until substantial snow depth is available (approximately 0.6 meters), which limits the usefulness of the trail.
Additional clearing beyond the edge of the trail may be necessary to allow for passage of the grooming equipment (requiring a 3.6 meter space between trees) and stabilization of slopes.
