Apparently Yarra ranges council don't deem this impassable road to anyone but 4wds a high enough priority. Our neighbour rang up to complain as her mustang couldn't get out and the lady suggested she should buy a 4wd instead... Bit average imho. I made a road unsafe incident report to VicRoads last night and they are finally doing something out it. These pics taken this morning.IMG-20221028-WA0004.jpgIMG-20221028-WA0003.jpgIMG-20221028-WA0002.jpgIMG-20221028-WA0001.jpg

Buy a 4wd so you can get out of your own driveway/street? Very average response from the council.
That "rut" river in the middle of the road will start cavitating deeper and begin to saw the road deeper. Hard to tell in the photos, but there seems to be a slope to the right.
Now i'm not a geologist, but isn't this a recipe for a landslide?
Roads have been stuffed/pot holed everywhere for ages, especially in recent months with the big wet. I know for a fact VicRoads have NO $ to fix and maintain them. Hence why you see the "Rough Road" signs everywhere, even on major highways. For example, might have to start airing down on Calder Fwy soon, it's that bad! I've driven Warburton-Woods Point rd in a far better condition than Calder.
There was a HUGE dip on there for, literally years. 100km/h section. At the "dip" exist there was major gauge marks from peoples suspension, sumps, trailer A frames bottoming out... Used to see cars damaged on the side after the dip ALL the time. Took them SO long to fix, that they actually had to re-new the "Rough Road" signs , because they faded and deteriorated.

Drive to Ballarat the other week and missed most of the pot holes, expect one and this was the result.

You hit the nail on the head there Hodgey mate- we’re run ( & advised) by over educated but inexperienced, self entitled arseholes. We’re f@%#ed.

Sadly Nico that’s an all to common site, water running down rds because they don’t do any drain maintenance anywhere. Yes I know there have been extreme storms but even the smallest of rain showers runs down the road these days because all the drains are blocked and unserviceable. Out at Nar Nar goin there is a big rough patch just before the Shell, I hit it in the truck one night & it speared me across the road, then just up the rd there was 4 cars pulled up with the hazards on with blown tyres/ bent rims, been like it for months, they’ve ‘patched’ it a few times but it blows out straight away, they just put rough road signs up there what a joke

Our Aussie Shared Mexican Yarra is only a TAD overfull merely halfway upstream and coming down to Melbourne town, wonder if MW-Corp might chuck in a few dollars/hours to help leasehold graziers throughout the valley below clear out their owned tributaries
