Track re-routed at Glen Mervyn Dam
2/7/2011
Many Bibbulmun Track walkers will be pleased to hear that work has been completed on the stretch of the Track that skirts and then crosses the Glen Mervyn Dam, south of Collie between the Yabberup and Noggerup campsites.
For many years walkers have put up with the litter (and worse) left by people camping around the shores of the dam. Much of the campsite area has now been rehabilitated to natural bush land, as have the roads leading to it. Three tonnes of rubbish and debris have been removed, the Track has been realigned to avoid the remaining campsites and new signage has been installed.
In addition a septic tank has been installed and a toilet block will be built, which hopefully will enable campers to leave the area in a more hygienic condition.
