Chiltern is surrounded by the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park, only a few minutes drive in several directions for woodland and wetland areas. There are many walking trails. As the seasons change so does the landscape. Atmospheric misty and foggy conditions in winter. The frost and damp air brings out the fungi, including glowing mushrooms at night. Spring time allows the wildflowers and native orchids to bloom. Summer-Autumn brings out the golden browns and yellows of the vegetation as it survives the drier warmer conditions. Bird life is plentiful, but hard to spot and capture on a photograph … something that practice will allow me to display images here when I am happy with their quality.
