Hopetoun Avenue and Dominion Road, Mt Martha
Another from the recently developed black and white film.
There are a surprising number of unsealed roads in Mt Martha still, which causes issues with silting up of the local Balcombe estuary. After heavy rainfall, lots of this sand and gravel makes its way into the estuary, with all sorts of negative impacts.
A silt trap has recently been installed in some of the worst affected areas, although I cannot help wondering whether just sealing the roads would be a better option in the long term. The ruts and divers in many of these roads are perilous for drivers and walkers alike.
I have put some more of the film images on my blog:
