Note that this section is not normally like the photo, so very rideable on a road bike unless after rain as above. Very strong southerly cross winds can take some effort, but a quiet and pleasant connector after main Yarra/Mullum Mullum trails and Eastlink to Carrum to ride back to the city.
Path along the top of the dyke is getting eroded, there's quite a few places now where there are long "splits" in the ground, wide enough for a wheel to fall in and 10-30cm deep. Take care!
