Eastlink Trail

I finally walked the Eastlink Trail yesterday. The good news is that it is concreted the entire way. The bad news is that the underpasses often have "water features" installed in winter.
The path itself is pretty level and would rate in the "easy" level of difficulty. The number of bail points is somewhat restricted to the major roads. So Burwood Highway, Upper Ferntree Gully Rd, North Road, Centre Rd and Dandenong Rd (mind you, why bail at Dandenong Rd when you are only 2 km from the end?) are all bail points.
There are no toilets on this walk. So if you feel any rumbles....go before you start. There is also precisely one water fountain and that's towards the end of the walk. So bring your own water.
