Gembrook afternoon delights

(the back-blocks of Melbourne's Outer East)

With a brilliant day and a few hours to spare...up Mt. Dandenong via the Old Coach Road.





Dropping down towards Silvan Reservoir



Through Melbourne's market-garden-country. Red, volcanic soil... deep-green paddocks and fields...








....and some stumping views








Shadows getting long....food for the soul.

Looks like a nice relaxing ride Pete, good to get away for a few hours eh?

Even met a guy on a new Tiger out in the sticks who had the same idea....blue skies, bike, camera and some glorious backdrops.

Sorry buddy, forgot your name.

But if you signed up in the meantime:
and welcome.

Welcome also to all other "newbies".
