DAREBIN PARKLANDS
The Darebin Parklands is a stunning example of thirty-three hectares of regenerated bushland, with indigenous vegetation, echidna, lizards, snakes, possums, flying foxes and more than fifty bird species. The biodiversity of the Darebin Creek is not obvious at first. Walking along the creek the signs of careful planting by the rangers and Friends of Darebin Parklands becomes obvious with healthy clumps of native grasses and blooming wattles.

Beautiful park and lovely captures, Nick! I do love visiting places like this and this one does look so peaceful! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! Wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteLovely series... especially like the dried tree pitch. When my sister and I were little we'd break off pieces and keep them in our jewelry boxes... interesting that today I love and wear amber jewelry...
ReplyDeleteI would love to be there! Looks like my kind of place...lots to see and do if you like to walk and take photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place to visit. The water and the pathway are so inviting. What I cannot figure out if the growth up the tree in the last shot. I have never seen anything like this. Tis is such a beautiful post. Thats for your kind words on my blog. genie
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have such a walk close to home!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place minus the snakes.
ReplyDeleteSerene places surround Melbourne. The birds look so sweet, as if they are not bothered by human beings. The place is also not crowded with people.
ReplyDeletepeople who choose to live in far flung outskirts of the city , have made a wise choice.
Beautiful park. I hope to visit Melbourne some day but I've already visited Australia 3x and there is so much more of the world to see.
ReplyDeleteHi there - it’s been a long time since I've had a walk in this park - think I may have to pop over for a look around.
