sign of Australia Day...

Australia Day was last Monday...
And that is always a time for celebration on the Dromana foreshore and on the beach...
I love the community breakfast - bacon and egg roll + coffee - and it's FREE!

sign for Australia Day...

sign for Australia Day activities at Mornington...
(click to enlarge for details)
Interestingly, no activities start at Mornington till 3pm and then last till 9:30pm...
The reason seems to be that most other towns on the Mornington Peninsula
have activities that start from 8am (Dromana Fun Walk + Community Breakfast) or 9am...
Mornington seems to encourage those from other towns
to fit in a visit to Mornington as well on Australia Day...


on one special day
feel the community soul
