A cold and windy morning greeted us at The Nobbies, a couple of huge rocks jutting out of the sea just beyond the Penguin Parade. With a porridge glow keeping us warm, we were ready for the southern ocean winds that were probably last overland in the Antarctic. It’s about then it becomes aparent how far we’ve come since tropical Queensland!
The aptly named Seal Rocks lay just further out to sea, and whilst not visible to the naked eye, telescopes (or my supremely powerful zoom lens on the new camera, which I’ll now stop going on about) revealed that hundreds of seals were basking, or doing whatever seals do, out there.
With our fill of marine life, Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula was the next stop, in view of Melbourne over the bay. Whilst trying to find the campsite entrance we almost drove into a huge car park with big white screens, a drive in theatre of all things! Returning later that night (with a freshly cooked dinner waiting to be eaten) we were treated to not one but two films. There was even an American diner, albeit an early closing one, but alas no roller skating waitresses to be seen.
