Beach colour

After spending 2 days in Melbourne, it was nice to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city. Just an hour's drive from Melbourne lies the Mornington Peninsula, a popular getaway for Melburnians...a mix of beaches & little coastal towns (like Sorrento, above), rolling countryside and a reknowned wine region. We weren't blessed with the best weather conditions...lots of intermittent raining...& the wind coming off the notorious Bass Strait (separating Tasmania from the mainland) certainly chilled us to the bone!

But the rain did manage to hold off long enough for us to enjoy these colourful little beach houses lining Mills Beach in the town of Mornington:

All were very individual in design & colour, although some were quite quirky like this Warhol-inspired beach house...

while others were just a little bit funny!...

The beach was deserted...but one can only imagine the people-watching that can be had in these prime pieces of real estate in high summer! N
