Bush walking in You Yangs Regional Park

According to the Vet our two dogs need to loose weight (I'm sure their owners were told the same if they went to the GP), so it was a good opportunity to explore a nearby Regional Park - You Yangs is about 30-40 min. drive from where we live, and is a distinct landmark that can be seen when driving from Melbourne to Geelong.

The You Yangs rise about 350 meters, and offers good views towards Geelong and the Bay. We drove up to the Turntable, and mounted the dogs for a brisk walk in the picturesque surroundings.


Suddenly Coco stopped and stood to attention, she had detected something in the bush. As we went closer we saw that it was an Echidna hiding under a rock.



It was a great trip to the You Yangs, and the dogs slept for two days after wards. The You Yangs are also great for mountain biking, abseiling, and kayaking so we are definitely coming back.
