For over fifteen years, Joel and I have been endeavouring to pinpoint the exact location of Flinders Blowhole. My initial discovery of this location was through a local photography club, in an era preceding the advent of the digital age. Our reliance on traditional maps often led us astray in the region, resulting in many fruitless excursions devoid of any photographic success.
Last weekend, we embarked on an exploration of a seldom-visited segment of the Mornington Peninsula. Utilising the marvel that is Google Maps, we managed to navigate our way into this region.
However, it was only upon our arrival that we realised we had ventured to an incorrect section of Flinders Blowhole. There exist two other similar tracks leading to different parts of the same shoreline.
Owing to my demanding travel schedule and work commitments in remote Victoria, I have been unable to process all the photographs. Nevertheless, I shall endeavour to share a few with you in due course.

Joel suggested to me that there will be two new Sony lenses coming out. 500-800mm zoom and 16mm f1.8. I want them badly too.
That looks like a beautiful place to do some exploring.
ReplyDeleteWe will be back for a few more times if tide is right
DeleteThese are amazing. I really like the first one :-D
ReplyDeleteThe first view is common along the area
Delete...the exploration can be more fun than the find.
ReplyDeleteYes, it can be frustrating too
DeleteLooks like a great place to explore, beautiful coast and photos. Take care, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Not easy to juggle hobbies and work
DeleteThis sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteOur friendship waxes and wanes over the years. Photography binds us together

ReplyDeleteInteresting to see what people prefer with different tastes

ReplyDeleteI am glad to know you finally located this geological location. Good luck with your two new lenses. I look forward to seeing photos taken with them.
ReplyDeleteThese lenses are not released yet. I will have to do some birding photography in western treatment plant using 500-800mm
DeleteThis place is amazing!! The color of the water, Joel's reflection, and the one strip of brilliant green! Wow, truly stunning!
ReplyDeleteQuite fun visiting new places
DeleteBuena cantidad de agua, nos descubres a donde quieras que vas.
ReplyDeleteYou have GAS -- Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I didn't make that up. Photographers use the phrase.
ReplyDeleteYeah, GAS for a long time lol
DeleteWhat is a blow hole and why is it so difficult to locate?
ReplyDeleteIt supposed to be an area of cave where waves would transform into a water jet coming out of the waves splashing onto the rock walls
DeleteBuenas fotografías, el lugar es muy atractivo.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
The only blow hole I've seen was in Hawaii. They are most beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺
So nice to see these three photographs.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new lenses when you get them.
All the best Jan
There is nothing worse than visiting a blowhole when it isn't working. I hope it worked for you.
ReplyDeleteWe are just after different coastal formations to photograph. Not really caring about a blow hole.
DeleteLooking good.
ReplyDeleteGoogle maps is a good tool.
ReplyDelete500 to 800! It must be huge!
ReplyDeleteAmazing place! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! 😊
What a landscape to explore and succes with getting the sony lenses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures. Hope you get the new lenses too!
ReplyDeleteInteresting place
ReplyDeleteSiempre el conocimiento de los lugareños ayudan mas que estas tecnologías.
ReplyDeleteClaro siempre que quieran compartir el lugar para que no se les quite una foto como las que nos dejas.
Saludos.
That is very interesting and I look forward to more as time permits.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it was the wrong place but it still looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm working backwards, so I know you found the blowhole and captured a wonderful photo. These are great too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. Lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Roentare.
Se ve precioso. Besos.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not quite the right spot, but still a lovely one. I'll look forward to more from this area.
