Thanks, Christine – am really fighting to get to grips with my new camera’s macro capabilities with varied success – must take Paxus up on their free lessons soon!
Thank you, Di – this is a gem of a spot on the Mornington Peninsula – beautiful trees, uncrowded Port Philip Bay beaches, and a lot of history to explore.
really good stuff bb 🙂 especially the depth in the first photo – I love those sort of streets where the old trees are so close together it’s like a roof.
Thanks, Gabe – one of these fine days in the future, you and I might take a road trip, Thelma and Louise style, without the cr@ppy ending, and explore Australia through your eyes 😀 That would be very interesting for me!
Even though I am ‘following’ your blog I haven’t been getting notifications via email so it looks like I have missed a lot alas – so sorry – I have clicked the button so hopefully yours will come back to my email.
Are those eucalyptus trees, BB? We have groves in California, where I went to school, smelling delicious and looking magical (not me, the trees) – imports from Australia, I understand.
No, these are a kind of cypress tree, often planted as windbreaks in the seaside towns of the state of Victoria.
The fragrance of eucalyptus always reminds me of my paternal grandmother – she used to rub a eucalyptus-oil-based ointment, called Zam-Buk, on our chests (which always made us giggle) if we had flu or a chest infection as kids.

They offer up so much, Charles, but they also pose a danger if not properly tended – a bit like the human 😉
Wonderful corridor, window, and gems!
Thank you, Col.

Love that top pic, BB. It looks like a Happy Place to wonder and wander.
It is these days, Nancy, although in the past as a quarantine station, maybe not for all…
The gnarlier the better!
Yes. love the tales, and the sense of humour, of those really gnarly old buggers, GFB 🙂
Like old men sitting on a bench
That is a wonderfully poetic image, GFB 🙂

beautiful lines in these trees!
They grow them like this in many places on the Victorian Coast as wind breaks and beautiful, huge hedges and mazes. Thanks, Ben.
