Kalorama Panorama

Silvan Reservoir - a trip for another day ... 

As Nick had the day off, we ventured a bit further afield - to the Dandenong Ranges. 

We had planned for a day of geocaching but were side-tracked by the lovely views and other attractions! 

Our first detour was the Kalorama Lookout, where we enjoyed looking out toward Silvan Reservoir (at left). While we were studying the information board, a fellow approached with punnets of locally (home)grown raspberries and boysenberries - so we purchased some for our picnic lunch. (Although we could see a picnic shelter down the hill from the lookout, we weren't hungry at that point, so continued up to Mount Dandenong Observatory).
