Finding the Bush in the City
One of the challenges of living within the inner city is finding natural bush with native birds and wildlife without having to travel to the outer suburbs. Darebin Parklands is a wonderful conservation park located in Alphington, around 5km from the Melbourne CBD. It runs along the Darebin Creek and has a plethora of native birds. Early morning, just after sunrise, is great time to take photos here because the birds are very active and the dawn light is gorgeous.
