Strzelecki
Located in the Strzelecki Ranges,
there is a park...
and today...
regardless of the abysmal weather...
I ventured there to take a walk. There are some advantages to cold, dismal days...
and that is , other people will avoid the park.
I was fortunate to have the park to myself and got to see a few wallabies and a lot of birds.
I have no photos of any of the wildlife because they move too quickly for me to shoot them.
With a camera I mean!
After completing the walk up and down gullies and through some beautiful landscape, I was very happy to return to Wolfy (my chariot) and drive home. Even the drive to and from the park is scenic.

Wow! the photography is ecstatic...perfectly depicting the serenity of nature.
I need to make more time for walking,
Great pics. In school we were taught that most of Oz is just desert wastelands and then we see pics like this. You do a great job introducing your country to the rest of the world.
The weather looks equally wet to what we had here a while ago.
Gippsland , where I live is quite green. If you go to Tasmania in Australia, it will remind you a little of England.
Completely different to Ireland here. Ireland is so tame ... by comparison. It's tranquillity is different ... More hmmm... perfect. Our landscape is quite diverse, the scent is so interesting when you are out there walking. I took the Stringbark Ridge Track... If you look at a couple of the photos, you will see the bark of that particular tree just lying there. :)
No plans to travel at all this year, K... I am slowing down focussing on a few other things that need to be done.
Wishing you best of luck with your plans for this year.
Thank you, K. It's rather nice to see you, even though ... I wish you to leave one day after finding blissful happiness.
I'm not looking for it on here though and I am happy at the moment, so you might see me hanging around the forum and blogs for a while.
I was looking back on my car here thinking that it was the only wet day we had this week, and I went bushwalking THAT day. The sun is out again this morning.
It's finally getting spring here, soon it'll be winter for you, bushwalking then mightn't be as easy as it is now.
I love Spring... It was Summer that I was in Ireland last year. The heat mixed with a lack of air conditioning wasn't brilliant, but it was so beautiful to be out walking in that sun.
You were lucky catching an actual summer here in Ireland, it's the best summer I saw in the 9 years living here.
I have to get to know the area where I live better, walking is one way to do so and I have to get myself going this summer.
I always recommend getting out in Nature and walking... it clears your mind. Ireland was such a beautiful place to walk around AND .... YOU don't have snakes!! Win-win!
