Our 40th Wedding Anniversary

Pete and I started the day by taking Monty for a long walk to the beach...

Not many people around Altona Beach as it was a cool and windy morning...

So much has happened since that happy day...

Afternoon drinks at Peachy Keens....had a few laughs...

....making the most of our time with Chris and Michelle...

Serious men's business....

Michelle and Chris made sushi for dinner....one of my favourites...

It tasted as good as it looks....

 

Waiting on a train at Flinders Street station

I love the many oak trees in Melbourne. Picked this acorn up on a walk to Lygon Street where we enjoyed a delicious lunch with Brad and Halina.

 

Sea Winds Garden in the Arthur's Seat State Park...

Variegated Elm....so different...

Views from the park....can just see Melbourne

On our way back to Melbourne....stopped for a coffee in Dromana

At the train station, going to Trattoria Emilia to celebrate Pete's and my 40th wedding anniversary.

We had a wonderful evening...the food and wine were excellent ....I was really pleased to be able to celebrate with Chris and Michelle.

 

Pete among the black sheoaks on our walk this morning....walk in the Arthur's Seat State Park. Apparently there are male and female black  sheoaks!

The walk is to King Falls....sadly not much of a waterfall at this time of year, but the surrounding bush was beautiful.

A brief stop in Flinders....pretty little town with a history of fishing...

Mushroom Reef Marine Park

Beautiful Pt Leo surf beach....

....perfect for a swim...

Dromana Beach....warm afternoon...cool water

The road to our home in the bush...

Relaxing...
