Tiny shell on rocks at Point Lonsdale beach, Bellarine Peninsula

The wake from the Sorrento-Queenslcliff ferry

Taken from car while driving along Beach Road

The city from Beaumaris

I caught the ferry to Williamstown for lunch and a wander around today.

This is Victoria Dock.

Looking back towards the city

HMAS Castlemaine at Williamstown's Gem Pier. It's a maritime museum.

A row of lovely houses on Ann Street

Low tide on a very grey day

The docks again

Heading home this morning, by car this time thanks to my ace friend Anna.
