Dear Lakeside Hashers
Diamond Creek, takes its name from a tributary of the Yarra River, on account of crystalline stones observed on the creek bed. Local legend would have it that a much loved bullock called Diamond passed away in its waters. The Diamond Creek Reserve cuts an enticing swathe through the township and some hilly dirt roads loom on the horizon which Im sure the hare will make good use of. All under a starry starry night.
