Late winter and spring is a special time of the year, and especially across the forested mountains to Melbourne's east. 
Periodically cold fronts bring moist air from the Southern Ocean and the forest works like a great living sponge to frisk clouds or deal with heavy downpours and snowfalls. The forest becomes a vast sodden sponge to fill rivers and our reservoirs. Visit the rainforest gallery on the way up to Donna Buang and see and hear the great rushing of waters from these wet forests. #Birrarung #Yarra #Warburton #Melbourne #HomeoftheYarra  #Respectforcountry
