The beach house is lovely, all mod cons & two minutes to the beach. Mark & Mel, Joy & Barrie & us here. Lachlan (Mel's brother) & Kathryn, his girlfriend, are staying at Barrie's family's beach house, round the corner but we're all hanging out together here.
Then the "kids" donned wet suits & went off for a swim while the "oldies" went off along the Mornington Peninsula to Point Nepean. We walked along past the old isolation hospital that had housed the sick & dying from the immigrant ships in the 1850's. They left from Birkenhead, enduring terrible hardships & many didn't survive.
Onward past Cheviot Beach, where in Dec 1967, the Australian Prime Minister, Harold Holt. went for a swim, dived beneath the waves & was never seen again.
Walking right to the tip of Point Nepean, the end of the peninsula. The Bass Strait to the right, Port Phillip Bay to the left.
Back to the house for another BBQ.
Lachlan,.Rob & Kathryn tonight's guest chefs!
