Bob and I walked a little over 30 minutes into the city of Monash (we’re in the city of Whitehorse) to check out the Damper Creek Reserve that we had seen on Google Maps. As we learned when we got there, Damper Creek is at the uppermost reaches of the Gardiners Creek sub catchment area of the Yarra River. The Reserve was established to provide an important wildlife corridor, protection of natural vegetation, as well as a green space for humans and their pets.
We thought it was lovely and wished it was longer. It felt worlds away from the busy street we needed to walk to get there.







we have taken photos of unique mushrooms.
We hadn’t seen any quite so bright orange before.

The other purpose for the walk was to check out another train station near us, the Mount Waverly Station. It’s an alternative to the Box Hill train station that we have been using, although it is only served by one train line instead of 2 out of Box Hill. Still, the retail area around the Mount Waverly Station was cute.
