A Yellow Everlasting Flower - a photo on Flickriver

            Admired for its beautiful bright flowers, the Everlasting Flower (Helichrysum Bracteatum) is a pretty daily like flower with a central yellow disk and glossy petals.  Everlasting Flowers come in bright colours like white, orange, pink and yellow.  When picked, they keep their colour and their shape, hence their name.

Mount Buffalo National Park is located in the Australian Alps, around 350 kilometres north east of Melbourne.  In November 1898, an area of 1,166 hectares was reserved on the Mount Buffalo plateau around the Eurobin Falls to form the Mount Buffalo National Park.  This makes it one of the oldest national parks in Australia.  In 1908 was expanded to 10,406 hectares, before being expanded again in 1980 to its current size.  The park exists on a high elevation around the top of the mountain, and it has striking granite boulders, outcrops and rock formations which make the landscape look striking and in some places, almost alien.  This is enhanced by many dead trees which were a result of a bushfire that tore through the Mount Buffalo National Park in late 2006 and early 2007.  It features The Horn, Cathedral Mountain and Lake Catani amongst other beautiful places to see.  The Horn is the highest accessible peak on Mount Buffalo and it offers wonderful views from the top.  Lake Catani is a man made ornamental lake which is very tranquil and beautiful.  A road into the Mount Buffalo National Park was opened in 1908, and so the alpine tourist trade began.  Visitor accommodation was made available at the historic guest house, the Mount Buffalo Chalet, built in 1910, until January 2007. Parks Victoria and the Victorian Government undertook restoration work on the exterior and gardens of the Chalet in 2017 and 2018. The chalet overlooks large sheets of granite and has views of the Ovens Valley and Buckland Valley below.  During the winter season, Mount Buffalo is a destination for cross-country skiing. There are a number of cross-country ski trails near the Cathedral, and toboggan runs at Dingo Dell and Cresta Valley, both of which are used by beginners.  The Mount Buffalo National Park was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2008, listing it as one of eleven sites that make up the Australian Alpine National Parks and Reserves.
