The rhododendron gardens in Olinda boasts sweeping vistas, lush lawns, stunning ornamental lakes and a wonderful collection of rhododendrons and azaleas. On Episode 15 of Dig It Down Under, I chat with Glenn Maskell from Parks Victoria about the gardens. Here are some snaps that I took during the interview.
