Photos of July 12 2014, a very cold day, on a 2 km exploration in the Yarra Parklands, Templestowe. next to the Candlebark Park.

This followed the Yarra, past the Billabong, across grassland under the HV power lines, then joining the Main Yarra Trail and back to home base.

Green Gully Trail - Templestowe

 

 
Green Gully Trail is in the Green Gully Linear Park, Templestowe, 15 km east of central Melbourne.

This shared Trail links Reynolds Rd with the Heidelberg-Warrandyte Rd, under and alongside the high-voltage transmission lines.My 4 km hike on February 11, 2013 started at Jenkins Park, off Shakespeare Drive, reached from Blackburn Rd.

The trail goes through a large pedestrian tunnel under busy Reynolds Rd, then passes through grasslands and areas of remnant bushland.

A wetlands area is next to the Trail, kept moist by a creek, part of which is underground.

Most of the Trail is along gentle undulating terrain, but the final section from the Porter St crossing is up a steep hill, with good views across the Park.Click here to see all of the Photos of my  visit!
