Goodbye to Dromana

Packed up & with regret, we said a fond farewell to Dromana & the Mornington Peninsula. The liittle towns on the beach - Sorrento. Blairgowrie, Rye, Tootgarook, Rosebud, McCrae, Dromana, Safety Beach, Mt Martha. A seemingly endless run of gorgeous beaches each with a foreshore area with walking paths, camping grounds & individual shops. (There are some bigger shopping areas with supermarkets etc..)   It is a lovely area & we have been fortunate to enjoy it before the main holiday season starts after Christmas.

We drove across the penonsula to Flinders where we watched hang gliders taking off from the hillside.



Walking along, Rob spotted a ray swimming around & under the pier.  It was easily 4 - 5 feet across. The local fishermen told us it's quite usual to see them in this area & they are often bigger than that!

We had an hour or two on the beach before heading off to the freeway & back to Joy & Barrie's house in the suburbs of Melbourne at Eltham.

Missing the sea breeze!
