It is only about an hour west out of Melbourne.

Normally, when I come here, there are only a few people. Today, all the car parks were full.

The warm, 26 degree, spring weather had people out.

I parked in the middle carpark, but really wanted to head along the river further down.
So, I went up to the 1st carpark and took the path the would wind around, and then down, into the gorge.

The path around then top is fairly flat. There are some ups and downs, that get your heart pumping, and your breathing going.

Here is a nice wombat burrow entrance.

And after about 2kms, you come along the river, the sound of the water is relaxing.

There were also alot of people who were swimming in the river too.

The favourite part of the walk is the cable line to hold onto, while you make yourself around the rock. Very enjoyable adventure.

I wore my tracksuit pants and hoodie to sweat it up a little bit, to help overcome my caffeine headache, which seems to be almost gone.

I found a nice spot. Had some lunch. I was thinking to jump into my shorts and take a seat, but I wanted to be back home within 2 hours.

On the way back, I decided to follow a dry creek bed, rather than walk along the top of the gorge.

After, me and a brown snake, scared the crap out of each other, I was on edge for any movements in the shrubs.

I came across 2 bee hives and walked around them. And, at a small pool of water, bees seemed to be getting water.

And some ant porn;

Then I walked up the embankment, to the track, and back to the car.
