Mitiamo

A couple hours north of Castlemaine is the Terrick Terrick National Park. At the edge of this is the very small town of Mitiamo. We drove up here to see what we could see. Although the images are not very clear, we saw White Necked Herons have a feed in the fields.

Winton Wetlands

About 30 minutes from the farm is a large wetland. It sits in a depression in the valley where water collects when it rains and it is really huge. Apparently, it used to be dry and people farmed this area. But starting some years back, it has taken to accumulating water and the farmers left. As a result there are lots of dead trees about, the result of having been drowned. These cows, are what greet you at the entrance.
