With +5km added to our allowable travel distance, I now have a new, but old, favorite place I can visit.
With a thunderstorm in the forecast, and purple on the radar, I calmly sat and ate my lunch at home as I watched the sky get darker and darker…
Finally on my way, I found hail on the side of the road. So, as much as I would have loved to capture a stormy sky, it was probably just as well that I had missed the storm, and I got to play in the now beautiful sunshine.
I do love the amazing views from this section of our Mornington Peninsula, where you are looking out over Bass strait, with the wind coming across the ocean from Tasmania, and beyond that, the South Pole….
There is a lot of steps involved with walking out to the end, known as Pulpit Rock. But, the black stoned beach is an amazing sight and the sound of the sea water breaking on the rocks and rolling them against each other is surprisingly calming.
The Cape Schanck lighthouse grounds are open to the public by electronic gate from 6am till 6pm. Tours of the lighthouse, and houses in the grounds, which now includes a museum, are available outside of lockdown, and are extremely well priced at $14 an adult. Numbers are very limited, so plan ahead. Look up ‘The Lady of History’ on Facebook. (18.09.21)
