Yesterday was Australia Day - celebrating our founding in 1788.
And day dawned on the peninsula with a softly romantic sky.
The kookaburras wandered in to greet the morning with us.
By 8am, the Dromana pier area on Port Phillip Bay was buzzing with activity.
Many prepared for the fun run to Rosebud.
Some had already begun at Safety Beach - the longer run.
And the sky was the clearest blue.
By the time the crowds gathered, especially to hear the music, just wisps of white cloud appeared.
Some preferred to escape the crowds and enjoyed sailing.
Blue skies and blue seas
Our Australia Day seemed blessed
Great to be outdoors

Kookaburras not sitting in an old gumtree but perched upon a tv antenna .... they still look gorgeous.
