Patiently sitting out the first 2 days of CoVid19 lockdown easing and the resulting countryside being awash with eager "get-outers", the last day of a run of glorious blue-skied autumn days finally came around.
Time to crank up the Husky, bump away some of the frosty early morning fog and head for the hills in search for the very last of the autumn colours.
Camera,
a full tank,
a few chewies,
no maps,
no plans.
Maybe someone can guess the route out of the clues in words and pics and post up the Gmap or whatever you use?
Happy to provide a few more hints
With Jumping Creek Rd. still closed for roadworks it was through Yarra Glen first and up the hill to a well-known (inofficial) lookout above town.
Still morning fog in the troughs...
Time to go...
It wasn't that steep...and I came the other way.
A well-known set of climbing corners towards the Kinglake Ridge.
The National Park is brimming with those...
More frosty morning fog out the back of some pub, where they also replaced the old timber bridge with a brandnew concrete version and added 7+km of quiet, rural walking/ cycling tracks and some bbq/ play area in the river meadows. The pebbly micro-beach at the creek was still "covid-ed".
A quiet, little lane around the back...
....which doglegs into the next quiet, little lane towards Strath Creek.
