Between Christmas and New Year 2012 we did some day trips from the farm. This is part of the circular trip around Lake Eildon, William’s Lookout over Lake Eildon just outside Jamieson.

The view across the Brankeet Arm of Lake Eildon at Bonnie Doon. You can almost hear Darryl Kerrigan ask “How’s the serenity”?
You can see the trees that grew in the empty dam during the drought that are now submerged. If I have given anyone the “We’re going to Bonnie Doon, we’re going to Bonnie Doon” earworm Sorry, not sorry!

Halfway on the Railway Bridge
Susan enjoys the spring sunshine at the lookout on the Bonnie Doon Railway Bridge. The bridge used to take the Mansfield railway line over the Brankeet Arm of Lake Eildon. In 1999 it was converted for use part of the cycle and walking path.

Bonnie Doon Jet Ski
A jet skier shows how high the water was in Lake Eildon as he passes under the Maroondah Hwy bridge at Bonnie Doon. Now I’m going to have to find the photos where there was just a trickle of water with four wheel drives, cows and trees.

Another view from Skyline Road, the back road that runs from Eildon through to Bonnie Doon.
Some rookie mistakes with the panorama with different exposures on the left of the tree and a slightly different viewpoint.
