Max and I had a great few days away at Lorne.
We went from one side of Port Phillip Bay to the other, about a 2 and a half hour drive.
Click on some of the links to check out the history of the area
Sparrow on the Pier at Lorne
This is the view from our balcony to the beach
12 Apostles Giant rock stacks that rise majestically from the Southern Ocean and are the central feature of the rugged Port Campbell National Park
This was our appartment
Thought that some of you "Shabby Pink Girls' would love this little boat
Something for the 'Lovers of Rust'
This gorgeous Swing Bridge was just up the beach from where we stayed
Max's yummy Big Breakfast
Erskine Falls - 312 steps to get down there and what felt like more than 312 steps to get back up
How sweet is this little bird I should have cropped this photo so you could have a better look at this sweet bird, so why not just click on the photo to enlarge it

Looks like a wonderful break Alison. We did the drive a few years ago too on our way to a break in Portland. Amazing drive and spectacular scenery.
Thanks for the lovely images.
it looks divine, your apartment setting looks divine, the pink dingy is gorgeous and Max's big breakfast is making me hungry! Rachaelxo

Looks like a lovely holiday on the beach, it is a pretty area.
Am off to Townsville this week for a few days on a work conference but hoping to squeeze a few minutes to enjoy the views around town.
Love that sweet little sparrow and I need a pink boat just like that! I live in a river town and I think I would look just great cruising around in a pink boat!

It looks like a beautiful place to relax and unwind. Glad you had a lovely holiday:)
Lorne is such a beautiful part of our coast, lucky you in your beautiful spot there!
Oh I forgot about all the stairs at Erskine Falls! Yes, it is a long way down and even longer back up again! At least you got to see the lovely little wren in your travels :)
Beautiful photos of our lovely land
Wow, a fabulous place to relax & refresh. I did click on the little bird. A finch of some kind?
I love that pink canoe. And I have a question: What kind of melon or fruit or whatever is that on your breakfast plate? It looks good.
The view from your balcony was amazing!!! Looks like you had a wonderful vacation. xoxo
Hi Alison

How nice is that Alison?! I have never been there...must do that one day. Glad you had a lovely trip away. Nice to do that every now and then! Have a great week xo
Wow...this is stunning! I love the 12 Apostles. I am hosting a jewelry giveaway on my blog. Would love to see you there!
