Sheep 2 Boulder Threes Two trees and a fenceFor a long time I have wanted to visit the Tooborac region which amazingly is only 30 minutes drive away.  Despite it’s close proximity, the landscape is so very different… in some ways it is like another world.   It is a seemingly desolate land of dry grass, boulders and sheep.  The outcropping stone is granite.

I’m lichen it!

The Camels Hump is the highest peak of Mount Macedon situated in central Victoria.  The air is very clean allowing for a variety of different types of lichen to flourish.  It also has Snowgums,  the hardiest type of all Eucalypt.
