31/01/2002 @ 0930h (MEL TIME) Back to the Dandenongs as it is included in the tour package we have chosen. Remember the "Mountain Ash" trees I was talking about, here is another view of the tree. See how smooth and straight the trunk is.

0940h (MEL TIME) Remember I told you guys that these Crimson birds are so "tamed" that we can hand-feed them? Well, here is the proof. Quite interesting to see the bird fly down from the trees to your hand to eat the seeds.

0950h (MEL TIME) Here's the bird feeding from my girlfriend's hand.

0950h (MEL TIME) 2 different species of birds fighting over food.

0955h (MEL TIME) Another species of bird found in the Dandenong Ranges (Sherbrooke Forest), always on the ground, looking for food instead of from one's hands.

1000h (MEL TIME) My girlfriend is holding onto the can that is used to boil "Bush Billy Tea". We have "Billy Tea" and "Lamington Cakes" once again today. You can never get sick of it. Yum yum.

1020h (MEL TIME) We arrived at Belcrave to take the "Puffing Billy" which is due to leave in 10 minutes.
