I wonder what is going on with this flight today ?

12/26/2025

Government road which links the Warburton highway Warburton to the Warburton pile fields. This is public land and yet it has been closed to the public for decades.

Government road like the one on the left hand side of this survey plan are still around. If this road from the Warburton highway Warburton to the Yarra river were to reopen to foot traffic people could visit the Warburton pile fields.

Warburton on the banks of the Yarra river over a century ago.

The Powerful owls are back for another season at the bush camp. The last 2 seasons it has been 2 parents and twins. Hopefully it will be twins again this season. There are only an estimate 4,000 of Australia's largest owl in the wild.

Warburton pile fields is what the people who constructed this in 2025 call it. I call it a waste of $250,000 of taxpayer money.

A collection of post cards from around Warburton in the early days.

The O'Shannassy aqueduct trail right next to the bush camp. A nice and quiet place for a walk or bike ride.

12/21/2025

The next 4 months are the best time to fish on the river next to the bush camp. No crowds nearby too.

12/20/2025

Giant Manna gum trees at the bush camp 50 years ago. They are a lot bigger now.

I wonder what this is all about flying over the bush camp this morning.

Yarra Ranges Council, Melbourne Water, the owner of private property on the Warburton highway and now the Victorian Ombudsman have been involved in a cover up for this and another tree that did not have a permit to be cut down.

Tyson Delbridge. Acussed of the biggest wombat massacre in living memory in Australia is due at the Morwell Magistrates court now in May 2026.

One of the springs at the bush camp still has an amazing amount of water coming out of it in early summer.

12/9/2025

McVeigh's hotel Upper Yarra in its heyday.

12/8/2025

The court that never was. Depending on what maps you are using there is a Jim court shown as being on the bush camp. There is no such court and it appears to be some type of copyright feature.

12/6/2025

O'Shannassy aqueduct had it's height increased in 1926 so more water could flow to Melbourne. They even did the work while the aqueduct was still flowing.

12/6/2025

Annie Yoffa did the multi day walk from Warburton to Walhalla and got lost in the bush doing it. She wrote a book about this walk. She also wrote this book that I have found today on abebooks.
