Day 318 - Back to Barwon Heads

Just returned from a lovely, lovely long weekend at Barwon Heads. The first picture shows the restaurant on the pier where we had lunch almost as soon as we arrived. It's walking distance from our cabin. The second picture shows work on the new bridge that nobody wanted. Last time we were here - some time in July - there was significant protest about this development, and we were sad to see it had made no difference. What a shame the small, unobtrusive bridge will be replaced by a large, modern one (as well as an adjacent footbridge).

Later in the day, Mr 16 and his aunt played Bocce.

The picture below shows how close to the sea we were staying.

It really is heaven on earth here. I hope it always stays this way.

Day 186 - Last day

Our last morning at Barwon Heads. Not trying to be painful, but this was taken from the couch in the morning. I keep imagining what it would be like to live here. Would you ever take the view for granted? I don't think so.

Day 184 - Barwon Heads

One of my favourite parts of the world is Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula. To celebrate my husband's 50th birthday three of us stayed in a cabin by the ocean. A picture-perfect location, we literally had the ocean at our feet. Even in winter this is the place to be. The weather transformed itself continuously - one minute it was sunny and blue skies, the next the sky was a dramatic painting of greys, deep blues and whites. A relaxing weekend!
