Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna Reserve, Mt Eliza Regional Park, Victoria

Jo (our ex volunteer for the exercise study program) email me few days back had asked me if I want to come along with her going to Mt. Eliza and try find places where we could take pictures. It sounds good. Immediately I call her and let her know to count me in. :-)

She fetched me at South Yarra train station at about 11.30 am then a way we go. We stop at Mordialloc, for a coffee and discuss where we want to go after JO completed her task. Finally we decided to go to Moorooduc Quarry.

Moorooduc Quarry is a reserve flora and founa of Mt Eliza. The Quarry is a little bit isolated though. I thought it was a bit spooky, out of no where there is a place for picnic, children playground and some other thing.

It occupies approximately 27 hectares of land and about 3 km walking track to enjoy and mesmerising the nature. We met a lady with her dog, praising how lovely the place is. Climbuing up the hill was not so bad at all, they have made trail and stairs to reach certain part of a higher level of the mountain.

Initially i didn't realise it, but Jo saw first. "Don't you want to take picture of Mushrooms?". :-) Then I started looking down and found more mushrooms.

There are more than 4 types of Mushrooms we found.

Finally we reached our last destination, the quarry lake. History wise The Moorooduc quarry was established in 1887.
