After some good recent rain the bush was looking good.

After a couple of hours at work this morning I was looking for somewhere fairly close to home to go for a stroll today. Remembering I walk I did years ago up at Silvan I dug out Tyrone Thomas' old guide book checked out the notes... it all looked quite reasonable, maybe even better than reasonable considering the good soaking the bush has received over the last few months. Anyway, that's the rambling preamble on how I found myself parking in the small dirt overflow car park at Silvan Reservoir under overcast skies late on this Friday morning.

There is room for around a dozen vehicles here.

Pulling on my trail runners (yes, I'm using trail runners on some of the easier walks now) I set off down the wide grassy pipeline easement. There is a labyrinth of walking (and MTB) tracks through the bush around here with little in the way of signposting so it's always a little hit of miss on whether I end up on the exact track that I'm meant to be on, not that it really matters as it was just a matter of heading down hill to cross Olinda Creek. Once across Olinda Creek I climbed up onto a wide grassy road and headed south beside Olinda Creek.
