Back in Melbourne...pleasant walk in Port Melbourne with Taryn and Chris....so reminded me of Fremantle.

 

Chris and his computer, Solly and his ball...

 

Solly keeping an eye on things...it has been so wonderful to see Taryn, Chris and Solly so happy in their house in Melbourne.

This morning we set out on a walk to the other side of the Prom...the weather didn't look great but it wasn't cold.

 

After a rather long trek through rainforest in drizzling rain we arrived at beautiful Sealer's Cove.

 

and the sun came out....it was stunning and we ate our little picnic lunch.

 

The walk back was much easier and more enjoyable without the rain.

 

Pete filling up our water bottles...delicious water!

 

Best thing for sore calves is a walk in the cool ocean water...

 

Tidal River in the late afternoon.

 

Tidal River a bit further inland...love the clouds over the mountains.

This morning Pete and I set out on a walk to Squeaky Bay...this is the view as we looked back on Tidal River and Norman Bay.

 

Squeaky Beach...the sand really does squeak as you walk on it.

 

The maze of boulders at the far end of Squeaky Beach...
 
 

...we continued our walk to Pillar Point

 

I asked a lovely young German tourist to take this photo of Pete and I at Pillar Point...overlooking Norman Bay.
 
 

In the afternoon we walked from the campsite to Little Oberon Bay...the ocean was so calm and the colour of the sky was just beginning to change...
 

 

Little Oberon Bay...so beautiful...

 

We returned to Norman Beach just as it started to rain...

 

and after dark we saw our first of many wombats...sooo cute.
