excursion to Central Creek Grasslands
One of the best birthday presents/occasions ever.
A bike trip to the central creek grasslands in Reservoir with my friend L. Starting in the Coburg mall with one of the best and cheapest cups of coffee around, we rode along the Merri bike trail to a protected remnant of western basalt plains grasslands. (remnant actually means part of the surviving 0.1% of native grassland habitat in Victoria, and it is literally in people's back yards...). A beautiful morning.
Highlights included:
Unfortunately my camera's battery was running low, but I did pick up this lovely rock on the grasslands. The new bike works beautifully.

Highlights included:
spotting what I think was a beautiful firetail along the creek between Fawkner and Reservoir,
observing three gray kangaroos grazing on an oval in suburban Reservoir,
the Grasslands, which are small but very exciting, and finally
lunch back in Coburg, where you can find the best dish of ful medames anywhere.
