Forest Cave at Phillip Island for Sunday Best

 


This is where 4 people were drowned in Nov 2023. This cave is totally under water within 10 minutes. 90% of the time, it is where fish swim. 

Looks wet and raw. I kind of love it.

Tarragal Cave for Treasure Tuesday

 


This is a location once a home shelter of the local aboriginal population. The cave emits loud noise from the wind coming into the cave.

Sierra Navada Rocks sunset for Skywatch Friday

 


1900: The Sierra Nevada sinks near Portsea; 23 lost - From The Age 

"The ship Sierra Nevada bound from Liverpool to Melbourne, crashed upon the rocks of the Ocean Back Beach, behind Portsea, at 1 a.m. yesterday, and 23 of her crew were lost. The centre of the ship, like a mammoth shark’s fin, now appears above the breakers upon which the unmasted hull has been impaled, and that is all that is visible of the wreck. The masts, sails and numberless spars and fragments from the splintered vessel, together with many hundreds of cases and bales of cargo, bestrew the rocks to the mainland, and shortly after news was received of the disaster the battered body of the captain was hauled out from among the wreckage." 

The Sierra Nevada was bound from Liverpool with a cargo that consisted chiefly of whiskey and paper. She sighted Cape Otway on Tuesday morning, and before a favouring breeze made good progress towards Melbourne. At nightfall the lookout sighted the Heads, and there was every prospect of entering the harbor early in the morning. Soon, however, the wind veered around to the south, and as it steadily increased in strength, sail was shortened and everything made taut and apparently safe. The ship continued on her way without increased portents of danger until 11 p.m. Then, above the lashing of the waves and the roar of the wind, the voice of Geo. McGuffin, the man on the lookout, was heard proclaiming ominous warning, “Breakers ahead!” Simultaneously the sailors discerned through the darkness a white line of surf, in bold contrast to a black and rugged background of rocks, which rose out of a dense mist of spray upon the port side.


This is the first time I could find out more information of this shipwreck I frequented many times in the past few years. It is because of some remnants I found ion the region. I was pretty sure there was a shipwreck.

Sierra Nevada Rocks sunset for Treasure Tuesday

 


This was taken on the weekend. Joel and I escaped the crowd 1km away from this location. Lucky there are no other photographers there at that time! There was a nearby water puddle that Joel peed into it. Later a young couple came and splashing dipping into it. Joel was laughing his butt off. 

I just figured out I was banned from commenting on Instagram. That frustrated me so much.

Mount Baw Baw for Sunday Best

 


A little sombre just the way I like it for the past few weeks. I tend to underexpose the shots using ultra-wide-angle lens in my hike. Stefan would not approve lol.

I am planning to re visit Cape Woolamai with Joel today. The long car drive is always our talk therapy time. Also eating cheap eats along the way is also a way to enjoy Australian weekends.

Spiral Stairs in Spencer St Melbourne for Sunday Best

 


Joel and I are trying to re-examine the photos from our regular walks. I like this one the best. 

We were told to leave when a security officer told us not to photograph the stairs. But we were standing in the public space taking a photo of the steps. We could not understand why they bothered. There were tons of the same images on the net too.

Castlemaine Bookroom Sign for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

Sign2 event made me realise I did not take enough photos of signposts or signage at all. 

This is called introspection I guess.


This is a classic country town where elites tend to retire at in northwest Victoria. People living in the town are quite alternative.

Death and Taxes Cocktail Bar for Sign2

 







Death and Taxes has the best menu for cocktail list. There are over 70 types of recipes on the app that we go through the list.

The store is spotted by us in the daytime first. Then at night, the whole place comes alive.

Tree of life in Yana Waingi Swan Hill for Treasure Tuesday

 


Tree of life light up in Swan Hill - a treasure 


I am day 1 in Brisbane. The hotel does not allow check in until 15 pm. That is a bit late compared to the average check in time around 13 pm. 

I might not be able to post because I will be visiting Moreton Island for some ship wreck snapping opportunities.
