MY WORLD ~ 12 Temperate Rainforest

One of our favourite haunts in Victoria, Australia
is the temperate Rainforest in the alps. These giants
are only 70 years old, a regrowth forest after the
1939 fires destroyed the original stands which were
hundreds of years old with trees up to 400' tall.



These tall timbers grow along the Acheron Way
we have sought solace here for over 50 years, escaping
the close quarters of metropolitan living.



Stresses of University exams were often washed
away on walking tours along the then unsealed
track and feet cooled in the Acheron river.



All photos can be enlarged.

Thanks to Klaus and the MY WORLD team for
giving us a chance to display places dear to us.
