The boys call this place "Secret Beach"....not very popular and stunning views of Cowaramup Bay. Ethan and Flynn threw rocks in the water for quite a while...

Flynn...he is an amazing rock climber...

Flynn and I were amazed at how clear the water was...we could see our feet perfectly.

Lunch outside amongst the trees...

Bed time stories....Anh Do 's books are wonderful, the boys love them...what a talented chap he is.

Tash and Todd's garden looking beautiful with many of their plants flowering...

 

 

View from the 14th green...perfect day for golf

I pinched this photo from our Golf Club website...The hole with all the bunkers surrounding the green is No16 par three...it can ruin your game.

 

Delicious supper that Karen and Jen brought to our book club this evening. We all agreed that both books discussed were very enjoyable. Karen's choice was "A Country of Eternal Light"by Paul Dalgarno and Jen's choice was "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

 

Our meeting place on Saturday mornings...

 

Good to be on the golf course too...the Peppermints are flowering....

 

Tash sent us a lovely video of Ethan having a piano lesson....

... I screen shot these two photos...made me smile too.

Good to be home....

 

Our last day in Melbourne...Monty with Pete's slipper on our bed....

Juno on the window ledge....

It was such a beautiful day, Pete and I went for a walk, coffee and cake in Williamstown ...

Monty after his visit to is groomer...handsome.

 

Acland Street St Kilda...the perfect place for coffee and cake ...plenty of shops ...we met Halina and Brad (Michelle's parents) at the Europa Cake shop...

We had a lovely time catching up whilst sitting in the sun with our coffees and cake.

Men in the kitchen ....we had yummy poke bowls for dinner....

While Chris and Michelle went for a long run, Pete and I took Monty for a stroll around Williamstown...

We had a coffee and cake sitting on the grass watching people pass by.....it was a beautiful day.

An arts and crafts market was happening by the water. 

Love this view!

Met Chris and Michell at the end of their run ....

....and had a delicious ice cream ....

Dinner tonight at "Bar Thyme" with Jeremy and Paul...

 

The Melbourne Town Hall this morning ....we were so pleased and proud to be able to attend Chris' Graduation. He was presented with a Masters Degree in Business Administration. 

Outside the Town Hall....

After the Graduation we had a delicious lunch at the Builders Arms in Fitzroy with Chris and Michelle's friends, Ben and Renee.  It was Ben's birthday celebration and also his and Renee's wedding anniversary. I thought it was fabulous food and wonderful company.

An afternoon walk with Monty at the Altona Beach ....

 

A walk along the Kennet River ...we didn't see any koalas but there were lots of birds...

....and beautiful reflections....

Unfortunately it rained once we were back on the Great Ocean Road....

 

Pete and I were sad to leave Fyans Lake Holiday Park this morning. We hope to return as there are still so many walks we would like to do. The trip south  was  pleasant drive through the southern Grampions.

After leaving the National Park we entered very green farmland....sheep and cattle.

On our way to the coast we had morning tea at a little cafe in Camperdown....a town we had never visited before. There were many superb, old buildings....

These beautiful elm trees line the main highway through the town....quite a long way...

The Great Ocean Road....

Kennett River beach....we are staying in the Kennett River Caravan Park tonight. As I write this I can hear the waves.

Friendly birds outside our van....
