track moves a step nearer.
From : Nunawading Gazette, 1981-82?. The big question for young local BMX (Bicycle Moto Cross) riders in May holidays next month? Riders, parents and friends were happier last week when Nunawading Council showed signs of fulfilling its promises made some months ago to grade a track on a site on creekside land north of Local parent Mr K. Winchester said last week that the large number of local BMX riders had been bitterly disappointed in recent months when there had been no follow-up to preliminary grading work started on the site many months ago. A circular track of 150 metres was proposed but could not be opened for riding until much more earth fill work and grading was undertaken. Mr Winchester said more filling had been supplied last week and it was now hoped that the main work might be completed by the next school holidays. Town clerk Mr E.J. Jane said project commitments at the transfer station in Vermont South had delayed completion of the work started some time ago. Filling was now becoming available from other works in the this would overcome the problem. Mr Winchester said it was estimated that about 100 young people with BMX bikes would use the track but there might be more once the track was opened.  They have the bikes. . . but need a track to ride on. . (from left) Tim Kennedy, Martin Winchester, Michael Collier.
