A native forest scene in the Macedon Regional Park on a higher part of the range




Pretty sure the Eucalypt in the middle is a Mountain Ash.

I was going to Barrack Heights that day, is that near you?
Yea - the view's amazing - all the ships waiting outside the dock. No, not near Barrack Heights - another 45 mins south of there.

Those are great. The area seems very similar to the Southern Highlands round here - rolling green paddocks.

Yep, heaps of this sort of countryside right through the south east of the country. Of course it usually browns off a fair bit in summer and in severe droughts, but very green a fair bit of the time.

I love the South Coast of NSW by the way, particularly the area between Bega and Batemans Bay. There is some quite spectacular country around there.

These photos might do more for Victoria's and Australia's reputation as not being all sand and sea and special flora- as has ever been done before....nice.

Default 3 in a row

Albeit a long row from SW WA, though central to Cape Tribulation in FNQ.

Virtually the same spot as the above. Oz isn't all red dirt or legoland.

This is Broughton Creek near Berry in the Shoalhaven.
Oooooo how I'd love to have some decent rivers like that close to where we are, then I could take my kayak out for the day!!!

Very English looking church, that one. Superb sunset shot too.

Cape Tribulation's a great spot isn't it. Horrible day when I went there unfortunately so my photos are a bit shite.

Best bet, Mandy is to go to www.imgur.com and follow the prompts to upload your image. When it's finished, click on the bit of text that says 'Direct link' - it'll look something like this - http://imgur.com/IUvOb.jpg - then come back to BE, make your reply post and click on the little picture icon up there next to the film reel and paste in the bit of text from your Direct Link. Click OK and you're good to go.
