If I wanted to suggest a change to a traffic light sequence, should I be contacting VicRoads or my local Council? (If it's VicRoads, is there a specific email/contact form I should use? Or do just try the generic contact email and hope for the best?)

Looking to travel in the west/northwest direction this weekend.

Last time we went east.

Any stop recommendations please, less than 100km from the Melbourne CBD and emphasis on nature/forests?

Currently have Mount Macedon and Lerderderg State Park in mind, but will probably just go to one of them.

Have you gone to Werribee Gorge? The 10km circuit walk is in my starter guide for anyone who wants to do something active/in nature in the west.

Lerderderg is beautiful, the circuit walk there is great but also a fair bit more challenging. There’s rivers to cross, the hike is shorter but a lot steeper. The view at the top is the pay-off, it’s great.

Oh man I'd love to see that! Reminded me a bit of The Hu Band Warning: contains Mongolians, metal, motorbikes and throat singing. You may feel empowered to overthrow invaders after watching it!

I'm feeling skittish and translucent.

Holy mackerel, I swear driving inbound on the M1 from the outer west is going to be the death of me. Also if I see one more person indicate and then immediately merge or not indicate at all, I am going to scream. Indicating is a warning to those around you, and that means you need to give everyone sufficient time to heed your warning.

This month long stint living in the mid-outer west has been like a baptism of fire. Dear fucking god. Any and all hours of the day there is some top shelf lunacy on the M1
