	Having left Dight's Falls, Isabel Ellander leads us into the valley of the Merri Creek at Thomastown.
	Looking up the valley from whence the Merri comes...
	...and down the valley to the freeway, city, bridge etc where it goes.
	Michael Godfrey found a knapped stone left behind by the previous occupants.
	Michael points to where he found the stone.
	Looking over the Merri towards a small cave.
	Merri flora - and fauna - not all native.
	The Merri in a rocky bed.
	Melbourne Water, who own the land, have re-planted trees (note: this would have been mostly grassland originally, although with native grasses.)
	A wetland has been sculpted to help return the area to its original form.
	The new wetland.
	Looking across the grassland to a "village".
