This trail was added without consulting me, and presumably without reading my corresponding diary entry (http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-mar2018.php#D-20180307-011725):
How I hate Melbourne traffic! Again the GPS navigator, Melbourne traffic flow and road works confused us. The obvious way would have been via the freeway, but it seems that there's no entry to the west from Punt Road, and it tried to take me down Domain Road, which was surprisingly empty. At the other end I found out why: the entrance to St Kilda Road had been closed. Back again, fuming, and to Toorak Road, where I was only allowed to turn left (east). Found a place for a U turn, into St Kilda Road and Kingsway, and finally got across the West Gate Bridge at 18:00. 45 minutes for 12 km!
Take-home message: this is an example of how not to do it.
