National Rhododendron Gardens Olinda Victoria

Saturday week ago we ventured up to Olinda in the Dandenongs to visit The National Rhododendron Gardens...on the recommendation of one of Mike's work colleagues. Thanks Mark :)
WOW what a wonderful place to visit. It is quite extensive covering a large acerage on a hillside - 36.2ha to be precise.

We experienced beautiful weather (glad we did not go sunday...miserable and wet) and wandered around for a couple of hours taking in all the vistas and were gobsmacked by the stunning beauty of the rhododendrons and other trees and plants.
Below is a little selection of the pictures I took.
