Queenscliffe - Sorrento


Today I crossed Port Phillip Bay.
This is my snap of the other ferry passing on the opposite crossing, and that protrusion on the horizon is Arthur's Seat. Sometimes you can see it on this webcam at The Rip.
The wind off The Rip today was beyond description, The Spirit Of Tasmania crossed our bow, and the south end of the Mornington Peninsula was absolutely jumping. OZONE was in the air.
UPDATE: here is photo of Kath Blurb From The Burbs Lockett coming through The Heads on The Spirit of Tasmania.

Tarndwarncoort hill, occupied since 1840, origin of Polwarth sheep bred out of the first Merinos to leave Spain. 'Merino' means 'fugitive without a home', as so many of us are.
