No easy fix for Merricumbene landslide
Plans are being made to re-open Araluen Road at the latest landslide site near Merricumbene, but it will be no easy fix.
Rock and debris fell onto the roadway on Friday evening, completely blocking the road in mountainous terrain around 43km west of Moruya.
Council’s Director of Infrastructure Warren Sharpe OAM said the road cannot simply be cleared and re-opened to traffic due to instability on both the high and low sides of the road.
“The longitudinal cracking on the low side means part of the road is now falling away over a length of several hundred metres as well as the landslide from the high side.

Description
Super One filly was purchased from well-regarded Sledmere stud. Upon initial inspection it was pretty clear that she seemed like an early type and was foaled in August 2019. Her wither is already starting to pop, she has closed knees which is the biggest sign she will get to the track as a 2yo. She took everything in her stride during the sales and we could not fault her temperament which will be a valuable asset as we look to push forward to get her to the races early.
A filly with quality, presence and is a great mover. Big strong filly while having good bone and athletic. There is a lot to like.

‘On January the 5
th a fire was sweeping down towards Eden and Twofold Bay was in danger. We were wearing our night vision goggles at 2 or 3 pm because that was the safest thing to do. We were tasked everywhere we could, land, and see if anyone needed to be evacuated, because there were people trapped on the coast’
