Not a Totem Pole!

Sign on a building site at Safety Beach

Like a tall flag pole
The necessities of life
Brandish some humour


NOTE: A "dunny" is a toilet. In this case, the sign refers to a portable toilet.

Rough Seas Incoming

View of the coastal walkway near Dromana pier and some incoming rough waters of Port Phillip Bay

Like a bad hair day
Tangles and too much shampoo
Big teeth wait their turn

(Sorry! Bit of a bad haiku!
Just that those hitching posts/bollards seemed lined up like big comb teeth!
Had to include them somehow!
Too many coffees this morning methinks!)

Rose Questions

Nothing especially odd about a a bunch of fading red roses.


But look where they are!
In the lower part of the image is a small wooden verandah in front of a boat shed at Dromana beach.
The bunch of roses - complete with wrapper - has been inserted into one of the pipes at the end of the verandah.
Is there a story?

Roses at the beach

All Dressed Up!

Jacobs and Lowe-Bennetts is a prominent real estate agent on the Mornington Peninsula.
This is the first time I have seen one of their company cars "dressed" so colourfully.
The car was parked on the Nepean Highway at Rye opposite the beach.
