Thanks a lot, everyone!

Mick, I live south-west from the centre but I work in Carlton.
I can reach many places without too much driving.

Hello Joachim. Welcome to Melbourne and to APUG. I'm also a landscaper but I use color neg. on a 5x4 camera.
We'll have to pursuade Poisson Du Jure into leading us to another waterfall in the Otways. There's a thread on the subject on this board.
Cheers, Peter.

Get a move on, Pete. That mentioned "another waterall in the Otways" should read waterfalls, plural, and it is this Sunday!
Ah, and I am not the leader. I chose a Drill Major for this walk to make sure the troops keep up!

Note I will lead a group to Yannathan Falls, Yannathan Cascades and Upper Cumberland Falls at a later date so nobody misses out.

Thanks again. Peter and Garyh: the waterfall walks sound great. Once I have settled down a bit more, I am ready to join. At this moment I am still waiting for all my belongings to arrive from Europe by sea container. This includes essentials like film magazines and my tripod and less important things like furniture and clothes

We'll wait. Plenty more walks planned over Spring-Summer. Good recent rains mean the falls are flowing at their best since the Winter of 2003 and 2007.

and less important things like furniture and clothes...

Let's hope those "less important things like...clothes" arrive very soon. You can't wander around the Otways in a loincloth!
