It was hard to beat the sunshine on Friday; a perfect day for locals to get their first look at the new 3.5-kilometre stretch of the Fernleigh Track which opened on August 11 that runs along the east side of Belmont from the former end of the track at the old Belmont train station to the Belmont Golf Course on the Pacific Highway.
Nick Chandler of Belmont was riding his new mobility scooter on the track. He pronounced it as "bloody beautiful - better than the footpath".
