A wonderful route in the forest of unique beauty in Maroondah Reservoir Park, with my beloved AnnΑ, with rivers, some big and some small, towering trees, which give beautiful shade to waterfalls and beautiful sounds, from different kinds of birds. Many unusual or exotic trees are found throughout the park, including the Smooth-barked Apple, Strawberry Tree, Cypress Pine, Cedar, Upright Monterey Cypress, Smooth Arizona Cypress, Spruce, Himalayan Pine, Golden Pencil Pine, Cottonwood, Douglas Fir, and Californian Redwood along with the deciduous Ash, Maple, Cannonball Tree, Birch, Liquidamber, Cork Oak, Lombardy Poplar and Elm. Many of these exotic trees were planted in the late 1920s. There are also a number of unusual palms, including the Canary Island Date Plum and Chinese Windmill Palm.
