Rustic Dream(e)s


This sign at Flinders intrigues me.
1. I have no idea why the word "dreams" is spelt with an extra "e".
2. The sign seems to suggest some kind of yin and yang (black and white) but the division seems odd.

maybe weathered and broken

red and orange...


Not sure what this heavy mover does exactly, but it seems interesting.
I found it parked near the entrance to the Coolart Wetlands at Somers.

Warrawee Homestead


Warrawee Bed and Breakfast at Balnarring was originally known as Warrawee Homestead
and home to the Van Suylan family.
The homestead has been a general store, a post office, a hotel, a restaurant and now a B & B.
It was even the rest stop inn for Cobb and Co coaches.
The homestead is regarded as the beginning of Balnarring in the 1860's.
It is near the current shopping village.

Safety Beach Sailing Club


The sign for this sailing club at Safety Beach becomes like a design intrinsic to the architecture.
The club functions as a multi purpose area for club gatherings, a centre for the coast guard and other small public meetings.

This is an eerie, enclosed walkway by the road underneath the boating channel linking Martha Cove marina and Port Phillip Bay.
It is bathed in mellow yellow light.

Spring Skies Over Hastings


Between many heavy rain showers, the Spring sunlight briefly appeared.
I was driving from work and near Hastings at the time.
This one of a few photos I took of Westernport Bay before the next down pour.

Waterfront Cafe


This large cafe faces Westernport Bay near Hastings pier.
It used to be called Pelican Pantry and acted as a training cafe run by the council and Chisolm TAFE.
But with a new owner since July last year, it's now refreshed and renamed Waterfront Cafe.
