C is for celebrations...
(Continuing my series on the Mornington Peninsula)

Celebrations especially include Australia Day in Dromana...and last Saturday 26th January was that day.

Far from the idea of barbies and beer drinking
- that seem to have been popularised as the Australian way -
this celebration by Port Phillip Bay includes:
* fun run at 8:00am in the morning along the foreshore
* free breakfast - bacon and egg roll
* rides for the little ones - incl a ride in the surf rescue boats
* activities for the little ones - incl face painting and art and holding animals
* a display of vintage cars
* local produce for sale - e.g. Peninsula Honey
* fly over of planes from Tyabb airport
* music on a stage - from early morning till 1pm
* and all the while, the sea and sand welcome those who just wish to enjoy the views of many colourful sails on the bay

Here is a collection of photos from last Saturday's Australia Day
