Queenscliff Vic. marina, trains, 360 degree view


Happy Birthday Paul!!!

Not a moments regret in packing our kit up this morning in between rainstorms and heading to higher, perhaps drier, ground. No such luck, the rain and drizzle followed us all in the way into Geelong, through to 70km of 80kph roadwork and into the van park at Queenscliff. Then it stopped, and the sun came out. Ahhhh. That's so much better!

We unhitched and went straight into town, firstly to check out the ferry connection for Wednesday, and to find a feed. Suitably sated, we walked around the marina, where for no apparent reason, they have a 40m high 360 degrees viewing tower. Naturally, I just had to go up and take a look and some snaps. We also lucked into seeing the local vintage train being shunted up to its shed for the night. Then we decided to do a quick spin through two other little towns, St Leonards and Point Arlington, which are nice little seaside villages. Actually they are probably suburbs of Geelong now, but they would have been nice cosy little seaside resorts in the good old days.
