The Lyrebird Haunt Reserve, Olinda

(Article Text)
by Bob Padula   

The Lyrebird Haunt Reserve is an interesting area of preserved bushland, high up on the Monbulk to Olinda Rd, 40 km east of the Melbourne CBD.

Its boundaries are Holden Rd and Upper Coonara Rd.

There are no tracks in the Reserve, and visitors seeking glimpses of the shy lyrebirds must scramble up a steep slope in thick forest.

I visited the Haunt on May 8, 2008, walking along Holden Rd to the junction with Upper Coonara Rd. Sadly, no lyrebirds were to be seen!

There were some nice views towards Monbulk and the valley.

Autumn Has Come!
Howdy Bob, easy to see that autumn has come to the Victorian forests with those colourful leaves, I wonder are Fords and Subarus allowed on Holden road? Thanks for sharing this lovely part of Victoria and best regards! Michael Stevenson
