I recently has five minutes to scratch myself and I immediately took off for a picnic by the Yarra River at Warburton.  While I was there, I had some adventures which I talk about on Episode 17 of Dig It Down Under.

The Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda – the jewel of the Dandenong’s.

Posted on | October 17, 2009 | No Comments

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.
