Enjoy immersive natural vistas in this real time online experience
Identify local flora and fauna with your interactive local guide
Description
Enjoy breathtaking scenery from Mount Lofty, a beautiful state park perched between the city of Melbourne and the Yarra Valley winery region that is off the main tourist grid on this live-streamed online experience. The main attraction here is a mob of kangaroos munching and relaxing on the grassy landscape. Learn about this fascinating iconic Australian animal - its habitat, unique behaviours and place in Australian culture.
We will come down off the mountain and take a walk together along the Yarra River which meanders away from us towards the city and Port Phillip Bay. Along the way, we will do our best to spot some more our native animals and birds. Your interaction and questions are welcome as we enjoy the landscape together.
