Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
We visited the Trantham Waterfall recently with another photographer friend, who had not been before. The water was not flowing as freely as when we visited last time.

We left early-ish in the morning, it was not too cold (for Winter in Melbourne, we had been freezing earlier in the week), and drove out to Country…

Welcome back for another week, I had quite a lovely relaxing weekend, spent Saturday wandering around the Melbourne Botanic Gardens with Hubby, we have not been there in years and the few hours we spent were not nearly enough. I was expecting to see more flowers as it is mid Spring, but we were either…
Read MoreWow such a great weekend away, but I’m exhausted. We went away down to the Mornington Peninsula again, this time we stayed in a lovely old lodging house in Sorrento. We wandered the back beaches and explored the Sorrento / Portsea area. Then on Saturday night we met other Togs for sunset and a night…

Kitty Miller Bay & SS Speke Ship Wreck Not far down the coast again from Cape Woolamai (Phillip Island) you will find Kitty Miller Bay, it’s not very well sign posted, but it is worth trying to find it. Again a very picturesque and rugged beach, it is a bit of an effort just to…
