tea at emerald town, dandenongs





























took bus service 730 to knox city, stud road, where i waited for chris to pick me. we drove to the cardinia reservoir. it is a huge reservoir which supplies water to the southern and south-eastern suburbs of melbourne and the mornington peninsula. chris was trying to show me the grey eastern kangaroos that are found in large numbers in this area. saw only a couple of them on the grass slope.

from there we made our way to emerald town, which is the second stop for the puffing billy. i remember visiting the emerald lake a few years ago. we had afternoon tea at one of the cafes in this small town.

i wonder if this could be one of the pull factors that made chris decide to migrate to australia about 30 years ago. lazy afternoons in a small town up in the mountains where everyone seems so relaxed and nobody seems to be at work except the waitresses.

as we were making our way back to wartina south saw this wondrous colour of nature in the sky.

chris, del and i had dinner at asian gourmet hut at 12 mitchell street, doncaster east.
