The Sunday after.
Easy trip leaving Yarra Junction.

Social day with two highlights.

Easy 3km round trip walk to the famous ADA tree.
The Ada Tree is a giant Mountain Ash tree, EUCALYPTUS REGNANS, that towers over its surrounding forest - a cool temperate rainforest logged in the 1930s and now regrown. At 76 metres high and with a girth of 15 metres (at 1.5 metres from the ground) the tree is considered to be one of Victoria`s largest and also thought to be over 300 years old.

Some easy driving finishing at the Timber trestle bridge near Noojee.
The Noojee trestle bridge is 87 meters high, has 18 spans and is located on a curve about 1.7 kilometers from Noojee.

Could have a BBQ Lunch at the Ada carpark.
What do you think?

Found the details.

Have to dig down in the posts though.

As for the comment about the driving though... :evil:
I will not comment any further. The 2006 + GV's are not built like they used to.

Now you really had me confused till I finished reading your post...

How could Lloyd lend himself a car ? Then I saw it was you Mary and it suddenly came clear. :D

Will he trust you with the LJ50 ? - always attracts attention.
