We went to Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges last weekend. I just love the name of Sherbrooke Forest, it sounds like where Robin Hood and his merry men would hang out. There is also Sherbrooke Falls but do not be fooled by the name. It does not sound as grand as it's name. It is more like a brook rather than a big waterfall.
We visited the park for the walking tracks rather than the waterfall. The track is not too difficult and takes less than an hour to complete but still offers a moderate level of exercise. There is a portion of the track that is uphill so it is a good opportunity for some good aerobic exercise.
I was a little concerned about the falling gum tree bark which seem to be a feature of this place. I remember the same thing happening when we visited this place a few years back. One large bark fell not far from where a man was cooking his food on the BBQ at the picnic ground. One hears of branches falling off trees injuring people and while a gum tree bark is lighter, it is nevertheless concerning.
After the walk, we went to Bensons at Belgrave for lunch. We ordered the tapas plate ($35). It consists of two boards of assorted food - meatballs in sauce, bread and hummus and capsicum dips, lemon pepper calamari and arancini balls.
