Early in walk, before Emerald Lake - a lovely, shaded section.

Tea time entertainment at Emerald Lake - lots of ducks and chicks

Tiptoe through the tulips - OK, but still beautiful

Family of 11 chicks with Mom and Dad (Chris you win)

Our lunch spot outside Cociatoo - nice sunshine

While waiting for Puffing Billy - Carmel, Barbara and Val and pooch

Returning via Emerald Lake. Peaceful and beautiful.

Amazing what you can grow in a rucksack!

Janine's midweek (Friday!) walk. Happy Valley Track near Sugarloaf reservoir. Pic taken on way up the track.

A spider orchid - much bigger than in real life

View of Sugarloaf reservoir - the higher views were blocked by trees

The walk is along really good tracks and roads - good for all weather

Janine and Marg at our lunch stop - near the end of the walk

Midweek (Friday!) walk at Upper Yarra Reservoir. This plaque placed in a short walk prior to our hike. The following pics are courtery of Arnis

View of the Upper Yarra Reservoir from the Doctors Creek Track look out

Morning tea at the Look Out from Doctors Creek Track - a great spot

Marg and Janine at the summit - a very steep climb up Doctors Creek Track

Also this super one of Carmel. Ilona entitled it, appropriately, Flower Child!

Ilona sent me this great pic of Arnis and Don during our Oxfam Lysterfield to Grants Picnic Ground walk. Too good not to publish
