Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark, #Brenanah#Australia.

They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.

Exploring the caves was truly amazing. And we even had some friendly locals drop by for a visit!

Fun Fact; These caves are named after notorious bushranger Captain Melville who used the caves as a hiding place and lookout in the mid 19th century.

Here are some pics from the day out 👇

Childhood memories of camping here came flooding back, by the river many moons ago, after visiting recently.

If you’re local: a day trip is a must!

Even in the cooler months it’s glorious. And check out the moss covered boulders and rock formations!

Some are huge… up to 50 feet tall I reckon. May be of interest to some of our #mosstodon enthusiasts! And #lichensubscribe (thx @cohanf)

We managed to pick a clear day and took some awesome nature snaps. And I’ll feature inside the caves, in a second post!

When in the #bush a couple of weeks ago, this rustic and gnarled #gumtree attracted my attention.

Just had to share.

This #gum’s trunk and branches are unlike many, which range from flat and smooth, to thick layered bark surfaces.

This one is unique inasmuch as it appears to look like it has been twisted laterally, in places.

Zoom in to observe… and check out the #bark that is at different stages of undress.

Some trunk sections and limbs appear not to be shedding at all and has a rough texture. It was abrasive to the touch, for sure.

#nature at its very best. #love 🤎💚
