Transporter Shadows

Shadows round the transporter at Point Nepean, Mornington Peninsula.
(The photo was taken in January 2012 - Australian summer time!)
The transporter is actually a tractor with open air carriages attached.
It travels round Point Nepean, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait without trudging the hilly terrain.
It also stops at points of interest along the way - the old quarantine area and the defense buildings.
(But now it seems that from 24th April, 2012 it was replaced with a 22 seater mini bus!)

Transporter

Transporter at Point Nepean on the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula.
Point Nepean is 90km from Melbourne and represents a stunning landscape with Bass Strait waters on one side and Port Phillip Bay on the other.
The area also has historical significance, representing the early settlement of Victoria - including a quarantine station - and a defence position featuring a series of tunnels for the manning of guns.
More details on the Parks Victoria website and the Victorian government's website HERE!
This transporter is used to move from one point of interest to the next.
You may also choose to ride a bike or walk the 6km hilly terrain (or more if you take sidetracks to points of interest!)
