Olinda-Silvan Forest - Eagle Nest Bushland Reserve

After having been closed for several years due to the bridge over the Lyrebird Gully Creek having  been washed away,  Eagle Nest Rd has been regraded and reopened following bridge repairs.

These pictures were taken on April 9, 2018, showing the scenery and environment at the Picnic Ground, and along Hermon Track.

Eagle Nest Rd starts at the gate on Silvan Rd, which is locked by Parks Vic at 4pm daily. 

There are two tables and seats at the Picnic Area, and a barbecue facility.

Exploring the Olinda Forest - Lyrebird Creek Gully

These photos were taken on Saturday December 11, 2010, on a hike in the Olinda Forest, 45 km east of central Melbourne.

My 3 km circuit route started at the Eagle Nest picnic ground, along Eagle Nest Track, then along George's Tk, and in to Hermon Tk and back to base.

The route followed the Lyrebird Creek gully, through beautiful tall timber and tree ferns.

The creek was crossed twice!
