Star Mail put the question out last week on social media asking our loyal readers where their favourite locations are to visit while under lockdown.
With the Stage 4 Covid-19 restrictions limiting us to shop and exercise within 5km of our homes, we asked Yarra Ranges residents for some of their favourite takeaway spots or the best areas to spend their one hour of physical activity and they didn’t disappoint.
Robyn Schimmy said she enjoys an early morning walk along the Warburton Trail as the winter fog lifts on a cold morning and the sun begins to appear through the trees, creating beams of light.
Cathie Wills is making the most of the new Yarra Valley Trail, Frank Watson enjoys Belgrave Lake Park, while Tracey De says she is missing Lillydale Lake and has to make do with a walk around the block.
Becky Scott likes the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden and is looking forward to seeing it as spring approaches.
Councillor Tim Heenan chimed in to share his favourite spot as the Pipe Track behind Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve.
Some residents saw the lighter side of the question. Keith Simons shared that he enjoyed “astral travelling to a saner planet”, while Roberta Laban is perfectly comfortable on her couch at home.
