Hi all, I hope that you're all well today, where ever you are and whatever you are doing.

So for this post, I'd like to introduce you to Cardinia Reservoir heading out towards the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne's east- the single location of all these different landscapes.
Now this was a completely spontaneous adventure for me, as I was finishing a couple of jobs at Emerald for my friend, professional photographer https://SabrinaRubini.com who created and runs the very first Backyard Glamping and Backyard Movie nights company in Australia https://www.instagram.com/backyardglampingparties/ and as I was driving to the clients house, I noticed an unusually looking high rock wall at some points along the road and never having been out to that area before, I had no idea what was there, until I was driving back along the same road, then realised it was a dam wall.
Suddenly I saw a sharp turn and zoomed in to find this place. So I pulled up and not having had anything to eat all day, dying for a drink and truly exhausted, I though well why not and so ended up spending a good 4 hours there just walking around and taking LOTS of photos... And although really tired (amazed myself...), it ended up being that walk that I really needed.
So hopefully my shots have been able to capture some of the beauty of this gorgeous place and you enjoy this post.
AT Latitude 37° 57' 57.72" S and Longitude 145° 23' 57.228" E, Cardinia Reservoir is one of the largest water supplies for the people of Melbourne and as such, there's no fun and enjoyment to be had on this body of water, not unless you want to get in the shit for it anyway...There's high barbed wire fences to keep everyone out, signs everywhere and patrols too.
However with the abundant supply of outstanding and unique beauty of the place, you don't need to pollute the peace and the air with the noise from jetskis, tinnies and other water devices or transport, because there's plenty of other things to do and see, like walk this walk from one end to the other, and if I remember correctly, that walk is about 1.5-2kms long and after a hard day working, I needed to have a sit about halfway- to take some photos ofcourse....🤣
As you can see, the damn wall is a huge reversed S, so I walked up on the water side of the dam wall to get these great shots of the landscape, had a sit and a drink about halfway up, took (quite a few) snaps and then kept going to the end where I took the photos of the dam wall from the other end
Then walked back up on the land side of the wall where I was able to get these shots of the beautiful trees and flora and fauna, looking down into the BBQ area below...
And as I kept walking, I just coudn't help myself capture some more of this stunning landscape beauty that stretches beyond what your eye can see and as far as your imagination goes...
This is just a tiny selection of the 191 photos I took there that day, but I didn't want to bore you too much...🤣....so I will give you just 2 more photos of some other natural wonders that I was able to capture there that day and say goodnight.
Typical Aussies...🤣😂😅
Well I hope that you enjoyed discovering this great place and the little tour of Cardinia Reservoir as much as I did. Thanks so much for reading and all the support!
