Yarra at Warburton 2

Jumping from the lower reaches of the Yarra River in Melbourne to much closer to the source of the river, this is the Yarra at Warburton. Warburton is a pleasant small town by the Yarra Ranges National Park; the latter cradling the headwaters of the Yarra River, 242km from where it empties into Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne.

 

The Yarra Ranges National Park features extensive stands of mountain ash - the very tall eucalypt whose base is pictured here, along with tree ferns and patches of remnant rainforest.

 

The 'mist' in this picture is actually smoke from the many fires burning at the time I took this photo in February 2014.
