Ocean Grove beach this morning....tide is out...

While Pete was at the golf course with Gareth, I went off and did some exploring. This photo was taken from the bridge over the Barwon River...That's the Bluff  of Barwon Heads in the distance.


I walked up the Bluff and this was the view...


...the walking track continues around the Bluff...and I went down to the beach...


Back up on the track heading away from the Bluff...


Looking towards 13th Beach...


On my return I did some walking at the base of the bluff...


While I was exploring, Pete was at the 13th Beach Golf course with Gareth...


After dinner Pete and I walked along the beach...the sand is so fine, the reflections are excellent...


...lots of bivalve tracks...



...a stunning sunset...


...time to go home, what a beach! 








Today we flew to Melbourne, hired a car then drove to Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula. This is our first view of the beach, only a 5 minute walk from where we are staying.

Our dear cousin Corrado arrived in Perth this afternoon. He is the first of our Italian relatives to journey to Perth ( he came to Australia for a conference in Adelaide). This evening we had a wonderful meal at Mandy and Gra's with Paul and Jeremy. Mandy and I are wearing the lovely pashmina's Corrado brought for us from Uzbekistan where he sometimes works.
