Coast access bill becomes law!

I have been away for a few weeks but on return was cheered by the fact that the Marine and Coastal Access Act has come into existence (12 November 2009).

I know that Melbourne is about as far from the sea as you can get but like many walkers coastal walking is one of my favourite activities when I get the opportunity.

I am looking forward to accessing some of those bits of coastline we haven't been able to get to before.
