Mornington Peninsula 2015

Melbourne is at the head of Port Phillip Bay, which is huge.

The Mornington Peninsula closes the east side of the bay from the Bass Strait.

Looking south you can travel unimpeded to Antartica, through rough seas.


The Peninsula is about 10 km wide here and looking north over the bay from the bay side beach  you can see Melbourne.

Well, not quite!

After January 26th., Australia Day, all the kids go back to school.  The beaches are deserted.

 A strange feature of the beaches on the calm bay side is beach  huts, beach boxes.

They are, in reality single car, wooden garages without windows, power or water.  They are however right on the beach.

They change hands for $100,000 to $400,000 depending on the community!

Oh!  Damn the beach is crowded!
Oh no.  It is just our family!
