Walking along the Yarra Trail on a beautiful sunny morning...

...to Abbotsford Convent. The Convent is in a bend on the Yarra River and contains the Collingwood Children's Farm...

For more than 100 years, the Abbotsford Convent provided shelter, food, education and work for tens of thousands of women and children who experienced poverty, neglect and social disadvantage.

The Convent was added to the National Heritage List in August 2017.

Today the site and buildings are used as an arts, educational and cultural hub.

There are 11 buildings on the site....all of them beautiful in their own way...

Inside the main convent....

...the formal front garden . I just loved this big oak tree.

In the afternoon Chris and Michelle drove us to Geelong....after a delicious lunch at Little Creatures...

...we went for a walk along the waterfront....Eastern Beach..

The water was crystal clear...and surrounding parks, so green.
