Grampians 11-12 May 2013

From a sign en route to Silverband Falls:

We climbed a winding track through a wonderland of woodland and forest. Away from the stream we find ourselves in an open forest of Brown stringybark. Here, wattle and tea-tree combine to make a distinct lower layer, where native birds such as fantails, robins and honeyeaters nest and feed. Scattered wildflowers complete the scene with Common Heath, showing its endless variety of colour from red to purest white.Overhead gang Gang Gang

Cockatoos call like the sound of a creaking door, while the laugh of the forever cheerful Kookaburra

intermingles with the ringing call of the Currawong. 1925.
