Today we went on a koala hunt....

and took the woodland walk through this beautiful landscape of banksia and gum trees on the east side of the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne.

We didn't find a koala up in these tall paperbark gum trees, but what a lovely place nevertheless.

We walked through the woodland, across an estuary,

to the coast (where a large sign warned pedestrians to be aware of large trucks!)

and back through woodland to the wetland area (where I sited my first black swans)

So I didn't find koalas, but what an amazing variety of landscapes in a one short hour's walk.

Thank you, Moira, for a lovely walk.
