Diamond Creek Walk

This is a long walk that uses the Diamond Creek Trail, with some interesting sights along the way.

This walk started from home and using the Diamond Creek trail towards Diamond Creek.

After reaching Diamond Creek we continued on to the cemetery and then towards Eltham again along the main road heading away from it down Windmill Rise to inspect the windmill, meeting up with the Diamond Creek trail to return to Eltham.
