Olinda Forest hike in mid-winter 2011

These pix were taken on Friday afternoon July 15, 2011, in the Olinda Forest, 40 km east of centrall Melbourne.

They show the scenery and environment on a 3 km circuit hike in this former logging area, which took me along George's Track, Barge's Track, Bartlett Track, and the Olinda Creek Rd.

Strangely, very few fungi were seen - these are usually prolific in July!

Pumas live in this mysterious forests, but they were in their dens on this occasion!

Some images are fuzzy - the cheap Chinese-made camera has problems in low light conditions.
