Dandenongs!

Some of us decided to take a break from "o-week" and do a little exploring! My friend Ellen, has family friends that live in Australia and they volunteered to show us around for the day. We made plans to travel to the Dandenong mountains, a well known range in Australia. The mountains are known for their incredibly large trees. They are honestly the biggest trees that I have ever seen in my entire life, which says a lot coming from someone who grew up in upstate New York. Our first stop was at this little area where you could feed wild birds. By just holding the bird seed in your hand they would fly right over and land right on you! Some would even land right on your head! It was really cool and all of the birds were so fearless. After we finished feeding them we got back into the car and drove up higher and saw some incredible outlooks. The views were unbelievable; you could see over the entire city!
