Great Ocean Rd - Pt 2

Coming or Going?  These yachts were participating in a race around buoys out from Portland, Victoria

While this fellow was previously sitting in the middle of the road as we rounded a blind corner nearing Apollo Bay (our destination). After we stopped and alerted traffic coming from both directions, and several unsuccessful attempts to encourage it to relocate to safer ground, a following motorist took a coat from his car, grabbed the koala from behind and took it to the base of a tree, which it quickly climbed (but not before expressing displeasure at having been "rescued"!)

These crayfish (perhaps known as lobster in the USA) pots were stacked on the jetty of Apollo Bay marina

One of several aspiring surfers out each morning in the Bay

The faithful companion of one of the surfing "cheer squad"

The definition of patience?? (waiting for THE wave)


Ahh - the unrelenting call of today's technology!


A pair of Cape Barren Geese


I hope this week finds you healthy, safe and grateful.  Wishing you all a blessed Easter.

Thank you Lady Fi for hosting this wonderful site which enables us to get a glimpse of worldwide regions we might otherwise not see.

Those geese are Greylag Geese not Cape Barren Geese.

Love the koala. A pair of similar geese have nested near my driveway and attacked me when I got out of my car!

During the summer we watched a yacht race like this in our estuary in town. Fascinating to watch the manoeuvres. Enjoy your week and thank you for visiting my blog last week.
