Darebin Parklands is a wonderful setting for walks and escaping into the natural environment, and is located only 5km from Melbourne's CBD. The park has a full time Ranger coordinating the Education Centre which details the parks rich history and committment to conservation and environmental sustainability. The Darebin Creek Trail runs through the centre of the park and provides shared trail access through to Bundoora Park 10km to the north.

Looks like the creek would be fun to explore!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to walk/hike, get away from the city for a while! Wonderful captures, Nick!! I love the creek!!

ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of visiting in your part of the world once. However, I did not get to see and enjoy this side of nature.

I also love nature tripping like this, and that small bridge is so lovely. Sometimes a bridge put even above a dry creeklike space is lovely too. I've been longing to do one like that in the property.
ReplyDeleteA great showcase of our parklands. The puppy definitely steals the show Nick.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. We also like walking in the forests or national parks.
ReplyDeletelooks like everyone, including the fur-children, had a great hike! nice pix
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty place. The dogs surely do enjoy the water, don't they. :)
ReplyDeleteA really awesome collection of photos from the river. I love to see the bridge - and the little white dog he/she looks so cute... Thanks for sharing
