Donvale Hill

These pix were taken on Jan 22, 2013 in the Donvale region, 15 km east of central Melbourne.
 
They show the scenery, environment, and features on a 3 km hike, starting at Buck's Reserve off Reynold's Rd, then up a maintenance 4WD track to the hilltop, beneath the 660,000V power lines.

Good views from the summit across the Mullum Mullum Creek valley.

Mullum Mullum Trail

These pix were taken on June 13 2012.

They show the environment, fauna, and flora along the Mullum Mullum Trail, in the municipality of Templestowe, about 20 km east of central Melbourne.

My 5 km (return) hike started at the western end of the Trail, at the junction of the Main Yarra Trail, reached from Webster's Rd, passing through Tikalara Park, the Domain Wetlands, Deep Creek Reserve, to the Warrandyte-Heidelberg Rd at the Manna Gum play centre.

The Mullum Mullum Creek is followed for much of the journey, along recently constructed bridges, passing a Lagoon, the home of many resident ducks!

The lagoon is adjacent to the junction of the Parkway and Sanctuary Place, and has an interesting Aboriginal Heritage information board, barbecue/picnic area, and shelter.

The Mullum Mullum Trail may be followed south for several kms between the Warrandyte-Heidelberg Rd until its terminus at Tindals Rd, Donvale.
