Great Places To Visit - Doncaster East, Melbourne, Mullum Mullum Walking Track

Just because I'm currently in the city for awhile doesn't mean I have to "miss out" on my daily bush walks. Nearby to us is the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail. It's fantastic for walking. A track shared by walkers, joggers, and cyclists.  Right beside us is Currawong Bush Park and the track goes through it. In the other direction it heads off through parklands in Doncaster East and Templestowe.  I'm certainly enjoying my daily walks now that I've discovered this trail. Have a look for yourself, it's very picturesque. I have found myself talking to walking groups, people walking dogs, a quick "hello" to cyclists and walking alongside fellow walkers and having a chat.  It seems to be a very popular track.  Today I even passed a group of Bushwalkers!! Well, they passed me as they were going in the opposite direction. I stopped and chatted with a lady who was out walking her dog and then enjoyed the beautiful scenery as I continued along.

Great Places To Visit - Wilpena Pound - Ikara - Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia.

If you like me have not been to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, then you are missing out.....big time! I had seen photos etc of the area, but not actually been here. So glad we put it on our "to do" list! We are staying at Wilpena Pound Caravan/camping/resort. There are limited powered sites here. We have a 24ft caravan, even more limited sites. So a word of warning: If you plan to bring your over 20ft caravan/motorhome etc here, ring first and check availability. If you don't want a powered site, or you are camping, then it's not so hard to get in, except perhaps for school holidays.  You decide. Worse comes to worse you can try Rawnsley Park Station or one of the other stations in the area that take caravans and travellers. Or you can go to Hawker Caravan Park. It's very nice and you could visit the Jeff Morgan Art Gallery while you are there. That's a definite must do by the way even if you're not staying there. Anyway I digress. Wilpena Pou...
