A slow tootle through the local National Park at the foot of Mt. Dandenong before the sun starts roasting the rest of the day.
Cool and green
The head of Dandenong Creek (which later runs through Jells Park and Paterson Lakes into Port Philip Bay at Carrum)
Invermay Picnic Area...the site of the old Mountain Mansion.
Some of the old gardens are still recognizable.
The grand flight of stairs....still showing the pattern of the tiles in the cement- formwork.
She's a nice and peaceful place, orrite....
Just down the road, another reminder of yesteryear.
Time for a coffee and another ponder...local back-lanes.
Watching the world go by at Gembrook
Back in time to crank up the air-con.
