Stunning! Were they taken in the Botanical Gardens?
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

National Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda?

Great photos.

At the risk of revealing what could be confidential information… some of these were taken in Parks Victoria managed properties extremely close to Sherbrooke… I know the places well. The best colour there is yet to come, although it's not far off!

Nice shots dplanet- I am sure you have others showing some stunning features of one of the lakes… well done!

cheers

Are you refering to Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens? Why would it be confidential info? It is open to the the public.

As they are not my photos, I am letting the original poster decide whether or not to reveal where the pix were taken! Of course- my guess could be wrong!

The first photo looks a more like bushfire leaf scorch than autumn. Where is it?

It was taken in Grampians, in Autumn this year.
