OMG, on the Wednesday did it rain in the morning! As happened at Christmas, there was a moat at the front door but not quite as large and we could step over it. We drove to Barwon Heads and after eventually finding a parking space, we walked up and down the main drag and back near we parked the car, we found a cafe that has dry outdoor seating and each f us had a monster sausage roll, that I couldn't finish, and coffee.
There was a lookout at Barwon Heads but we quickly remembered we had been there before, the last time with Mother. On the way home we found some really nice lookout points in Ocean Grove. It was nice sitting and gazing out to sea and admiring some very nice looking housing above.
I had a fancy for Indian food and it was only 13 minutes drive from Sister's to Tandoori Lovers in Ocean Grove and we had a very nice meal. It was up a step of stairs, no disabled access, and had nice views and with a monster Norfolk Island Pine at window level.
Jo's room doesn't really have any bare walls now, and nor does if have any shelf space, the shelves been filled with her various collections.
We have had rain like that of late - and you very almost CAN see the grass and weeds grow.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your remembered about last visiting the Barwon Heads lookout with your mama and found some acceptable alternatives. I would love to live with a beach view. Not going to be a happening thing.
EC, beach views would be so good but you can't see much at night time. It would be nice to watch the tides and waves breaking over rocks.
DeleteWhat a lovely spot. You are fortunate to have such beautiful ocean side places so close to you.
ReplyDeleteJayCee, I am sure some of your coastline is beautiful too.
DeleteI saw a car towing a large shark on the road in Geelong yesterday. You really reminds me to do a photo tour of this town again.
ReplyDeleteNot a real one, I guess Roentare. It's kind of the beginning of the west coast and the Great Ocean Road, although officially it isn't.
DeleteBeautiful shore line and I want a sausage roll now and I'm trying to diet!!
ReplyDeleteDon't do it Chris. It can be hard to resist when you want something to eat but not much.
DeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks JB.
DeleteI wouldn't mind owning one of those Ocean Grove homes either. Is there a path through the trees that goes directly to the beach?
ReplyDeleteHels, I think it is too steep for a path. The road is very steep up to the houses.
DeleteI'm with everyone in desiring an ocean front view. ~sigh~ Thanks for the awesome photos; Coco's image in particular made me smile. Be well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Darla. She is cute and at 14 can still spring about in the park and run.
DeleteThat is a beautiful place. Now off to google maps to have a closer look.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Strayer. Enjoy your closer looks.
DeleteWhat a lovely area and I never say no to Indian food, no matter the region. In the good old days I would actually cook it. Boy that rain is something else!

Be a nice view from where those houses are located.
ReplyDeleteThe grass is very green in the photo there. You have had much more rain than we have had.
We have had much rain Margaret. As you know, unwatered grass should now be very brown.
DeleteAre they many land slides with those home on hill? The reason I'm asking is some place people will clear the vegetations on hill slide and when ground get wet. Sometime then a land slide will happen. And down home and all.
ReplyDeleteNo Dora. I suspect it mostly rock. It would be a long time before those houses would be affected by rising sea levels and storms.
DeleteJo's room reminds me of the joy I had as a kid plastering posters and pictures on every square inch of a (formally) bare wall.
ReplyDeleteAnd what was on the posters Kirk?
DeleteJo's wall looks very interesting. I have pictures stuck up on my lounge room walls, but can't show that because there are family pictures mixed in. I do love the name Ocean Grove, it sounds like somewhere I could live, but I'd have a smaller house than those pictured, I don't want to have to clean acres of floors and windows.
ReplyDeleteRiver, if you could afford the house, you could afford to pay someone to clean.
DeleteThat was a nice day out. Lovely place to visit. yep sausage roll had my mouth watering. I'm trying to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteDiane, one sausage roll a fortnight can't do any harm, surely?
