Deb and I went south to Barwon Heads and Queenscliff, down at the south end of Port Phillip Bay for a night.
As is my wont I took quite a number of piccies, although not as many as usual. Yesterday was absolutely beautiful spring weather and I just unwound for the day and barely touched my camera.
It was not until the evening when we were sitting up on this bluff at Barwon Heads that I took any piccies.
We went there to eat our dinner which was some beautiful fresh battered prawns, sea scallops, calamari and fish. This feast came from a local fish and chip shop called “Gilligan’s”. I haven’t had such fresh seafood for ages, if you’re down that way I recommend them.A quick word about “prawns”. I believe: in the US they are called “shrimp" and in the UK the small ones are called “shrimp” and the larger ones “prawns”. Here they are all “prawns”, if we want to distinguish by size we call the smaller ones “school prawns” and the larger ones “king prawns”. Oh, and the calamari I am referring to here are rings of squid lightly battered and deep fried. All of this feast was cooked exactly right and was simply heavenly!
Now where was I? The evening and the bluff.
As we ate, the sun began setting so I interrupted our feast to shoot these piccies.
These are taken out over Bass Straight which lies between the Australian mainland and Tasmania (although looking west rather than south towards Tassie).
Now I did it once before, so I am trying it again.A vote!
What would you like me to post about next:
More about my trip this weekend including Fort Queenscliff.
Or more about my Mum’s place where I went a number of weeks ago.
The choice is yours!
