RJ Hamer Arboretum (Olinda)
Full review at
R.J. Hamer Forest Arboretum
This area was named after the premier of Victoria from 1972 – 1981.
The arboretum has a collection of trees and shrubs, which are cultivated under natural
conditions for scientific and educational purposes.
This area was originally established to provide a walking and picnicking experience within
an environment of varied specimens chosen for their interesting flowers and foliage.
It is particularly interesting place to visit late April when the foliage shows all the Autumn colours.
I will time my next years visit earlier, so as not to miss the area at its colourful best.

R.J. Hamer Arboretum - July 2017
When I find a new place to fly my drone, I’m guilty of returning too many times to record my flights.
The R. J. Hamer Arboretum is such a place. Located near the town of Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges. I return each time to refine my flights and often discover on arrival that the weather is not the best for drone flying but I send the “bird” off anyway. I need to justify the time taken to drive to this location. This video is a combination of nine flights.
I promise not to post another video from this location until the Spring when I believe the area will take on a whole new look.

R.J. Hamer Arboretum - Drone Flight & Crash
Another autonomous drone flight at the R.J. Hamer Arboretum, which can be found near Olinda in Mount Dandenong, Victoria, Australia.
Because of wind and not such a well thought out flight plan the flight didn't end well. It took me nearly 10 minutes to find the drone.

A ride in the Dandenongs
Out for a ride
Olinda to The Basin, in the Dandenongs
My last bike ride for 2011, on 31st December.
I rode various parts of the Dandenongs, in the state of Victoria in Australia, then used the helmet camera to record my descent from Olinda (approx. 550m elevation) to The Basin (approx. 170m). The late morning sunlight filtering through the trees was quite pleasant, although the helmet camera had trouble adjusting the light balance because of it.
I saw numerous other cyclists out today, as it was a Saturday morning and a holiday period for many.

Australian Road Trip Series | A visit to Olinda, Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges - Australia
Perched high above Melbourne (and only about an hour away by car), observe the striking seasons in the beautiful gardens of Olinda, breathe in the fresh country air of one of the highest villages in the Dandenong Ranges.
From postcard-perfect scenery in Olinda's public and private gardens, to spring blooms and crisp summer days to the changing colours of autumn. The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, which contains thousands of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and daffodils is a particular prize of the region.
Once the home of Australian master painter Arthur Streeton, Olinda's creative spirit is still alive and kicking with local art galleries and studios like Touchstone Craft Gallery, which sells the works of over 250 Australian master craftspeople.

UC Davis Arboretum ride counterclockwise full, uncut footage
This ride was several weeks ago and I was thinking of putting music and subtitles to it and junk but I never got around to it. At some point I might, but this was another excellent ride! The western part of the Arboretum is fairly secluded, especially around this time and very beautiful, despite the heat and dryness.
The Dandenong Ranges.
The Dandenong Ranges, originally known as Corhanwarrabul,
(commonly just the Dandenongs) are a set of low mountain ranges, rising to 633 metres at Mount Dandenong, approximately 35 km east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
