Such a good eater....and he has such a good mum that packs such a nutritious lunch for him.

Today we played in the VW Scramble, a 4 ball ambrose game. I played with Lyn, Sue and Barb and although we didn't win we played quite well and had fun.


Couldn't resist taking a photo of this beautiful tree that Barb's ball rolled under.

Yesterday Gareth had a marvellous day on the course and qualified 5th in the tournament. Today  I went to watch the match play rounds.  Above are Pete and Gareth on the 1st tee before his first game of matchplay which he won.


...on the fairway...


He won his first round but lost in the second...but very happy to have performed so well overall. Pete was very pleased as well and enjoyed the wonderful experience.

Pete and I packed up and left Ocean Grove this morning. We took one more look at the beach....it was a beautiful morning and the beach looked stunning.


We stopped in Geelong and had a look around...above is Cunningham Pier...


Geelong's famous Baywalk Bollards



Geelong library...quite an interesting building.

An overcast, cool day today...stopped at Ocean Grove beach on our walk home from a local cafe where we had breakfast.


Tide way out...


Drove west towards Torquay stopping at beaches along the way.


Torquay....stunning cliffs in the distance...


....surfers everywhere....a really pretty coastline...


After saying goodbye to Chris and Michelle, Pete and I set off for a long walk from Ocean Grove beach to the river mouth.  This is what Ocean Grove beach looks like when the tide is way in. All the kids were on their surf boards.



Lots of seagulls....at the mouth of the Barwon river...


On our return a little over an hour later the tide was on its way out again at Ocean Grove. I really loved this part of the world.

Chris and Michelle arrived down in Ocean Grove last night, so great to see them. Although it was windy and cool today we managed to do some sight seeing...behind is 13th Beach...


I took this from Pt Lonsdale...ship entering Port Phillip Bay


Another little beach near Pt Lonsdale, very wild surf.


Windy at Pt Lonsdale...


The jetty at Queenscliff...back in time...



This evening Michelle's parents Brad and Halina drove down to have dinner with us. We had a most enjoyable evening....not sure what the joke was but love all the smiling faces.




I spent the day at the golf today. Crowds following Su Oh who was leading at the time....


Su, Marianne Scarpnord and Paula Creamer ...


Pete and Gareth....enjoyed watching them too.

This is what the golf course looked like driving in this morning....so much fog! Play was delayed, to I dropped Pete there and went and took some photos, taking advantage of the lack of wind.


The fog lifted pretty quickly but the river and ocean were so still...under a small jetty on the Barwon River looking out towards the Bluff.


The bridge over the Barwon.


From the Bluff...looks very different to yesterday.




13th Beach with the tide way out...


I went for a stroll along the beach...


Later at the golf....Karrie Webb...


Minjee Lee...


Su Oh who played very well....it was really interesting to be able to be so close to the players.


Pete and Gareth...


Another after dinner walk....just love this beach...
