The view from Mt Wombat west in 2012. The Strathbogie plateau is in the mid-ground and you can just make out the edge highlighted by trees. The relatively straight line beyond is the Euroa-Mansfield Road.
The view of the farm from Mt Wombat looking towards Yarck and Melbourne. Galls Gap Rd is the first horizontal band of trees and the Seven Creeks the wave across the middle.
The fire lookout at the top of the 799m (2,621ft) Mt Wombat. This is almost 5 years after the similar view on Brizbunny, from New Year’s Day 2007. Not too much has changed, but at least the track had been resurfaced.
The view along the Murray River from the Echuca Wharf to Moama Beach and the Echuca-Moama Bridge.
Between Christmas and New Year 2012 we did some day trips from the farm. This is part of the circular trip around Lake Eildon, William’s Lookout over Lake Eildon just outside Jamieson.
The view from the other side of Lake Eildon, looking along the dam wall from close to the intake tower.
The intake tower close to the Lake Eildon dam wall, this rises 200ft from the river bed.
A rare patch of sunshine in a wet Melbourne winter, even so we still had a freezing wind. Mt Dandenong is seen here from the Kilsyth Recreation Reserve.
The view from Sky High on Mt Dandenong across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs on a clear night in April 2012.
The view from the Main Neerim Road (C425) somewhere around Neerim.

The view across the Brankeet Arm of Lake Eildon at Bonnie Doon. You can almost hear Darryl Kerrigan ask “How’s the serenity”?
You can see the trees that grew in the empty dam during the drought that are now submerged. If I have given anyone the “We’re going to Bonnie Doon, we’re going to Bonnie Doon” earworm Sorry, not sorry!
Susan enjoys the spring sunshine at the lookout on the Bonnie Doon Railway Bridge. The bridge used to take the Mansfield railway line over the Brankeet Arm of Lake Eildon. In 1999 it was converted for use part of the cycle and walking path.
