Thanks for the informative article and great photos. Can you believe that I've lived only a little way up the Calder (Macedon) and never visited this park although we've meant to several times. Your article has made me keen to do that as soon as we can find a spare few hours one weekend.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>Brian<BR/>coops.potd.com.auAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22998420.post-1151039943946529692006-06-23T15:19:00.000+10:002006-06-23T15:19:00.000+10:00Hello Darren,I noticed that you mentioned Jacksons...Hello Darren,<BR/>I noticed that you mentioned Jacksons creek in Sunbury.<BR/>If you know the area well, it used to be where the disabled institution Caloola was.
