A Hike in the Olinda Creek Gully

These Photos were taken on January 12, 2011, in the Olinda Creek Gully, Dandenong Ranges National Park, 40 km east of central Melhourne.

They show the Creek, scenery and environment an a 4 km (return) hike on Management Road 18, starting at the gate off the Olinda Creek Rd.

Note the interesting gold and black Yabbies, which I had thought were some sort of scorpion at first, which I encountered on the track - about 7 cm long - out for their afternoon walk!

There were many birds making commotions in the forest canopy.
