Petrified Forest in Cape Bridewater near Portland for Treasure Tuesday

 

This area is called the petrified forest from an early theory that advancing sand engulfed an ancient forest of coastal trees that once covered the sea cliff, petrifying them for all time.

Actually the formation is a collection of hollow tubes of limestone called “solution pipes”, eroded by millions of years of rainfall. The process starts when water gathers in a shallow pan of sand and seeps downwards dissolving the limestone. The mineral saturated water then cements the sand, forming hard, trunk-shaped pipes. Most pipes around Cape Bridgewater are only three metres high, although some are as much as twenty metres.

The Petrified Forest is easily accessible from the car park at the end of Blowholes Road, Cape Bridgewater.

I have been to this area 4 times in total. This is the most recent snap.

Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

It was an overcast day at Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula.

A different take on the flow effect.

Stingray Bay, Warrnambool for Water H2O Thursday

 

The tide suddenly came in. The area was rather flat that the sea level instantly raised. 

I caught a bit of turquoise water before retreating.

Stingray Bay Warrnambool for Sunday Best

 

Since I arrive this coastal town, the rain has been non stop. For the weekend, I was expecting a terrible storm until a cloud break close to sunset hours. So I quickly fly my drone to get a view off Stingray Bay. The wind nearly took my drone away into the sea...

At least, I got a shot here and there before the storm took over. So sad.

I have taken sunset shots from this location many times. Each time, the colour and the vibe are different.

Bridgewater Bay Topdown for Treasure Tuesday

 

Finally the wind was a lot less on the weekend. Finally a view I really like.

I am now in Warrnambool for a 5-week locum work. Hopefully I get enough interesting weather for photography.

Bridgewater Bay low tide for Treasure Tuesday

 

Among many trips to this location this year, this was one of the unique photo where I managed to get my whole pants soaked wet by rogue waves. However, the silky flow in the foreground works out well.

Bridgewater Bay for Treasure Tuesday

Miscalculation on my part. The low tide on Saturday was actually not so low 1 metre high. So Joel blamed me for it for the turbulent sea hitting at us. 

For me, sea is my treasure. The gentle hiking and the smell of ocean just cleanse my worries away.

By sunset, it was pouring rain on us. We ended up discovering another fish and chips shop run by Greek grandfather. The snapper and souvlaki were so yummy and delish!

Bridgewater Bay Long Exposure

 

I took at least 200 long exposure photos at this location in my last visit where I sustained an avulsion tendon tear in my left ankle. You can see the two people standing on top of the cliff in the distance. It was a worry that I thought one guy was going to push the lady off the cliff for a jump into the sea.

Bridgewater Bay Sunset

 

This was another trip to the hazardous coast. I walked on my left inverted foot and sprained the whole foot as a result. Not fun.

Moreton Bay Bug Rissoto

This was the entree I tried in Richmond on Enotecca - one hat restaurant. 

Extremely salty. Lobster was no where to be seen. Yet the texture was similar to baby vomitus.

God bless
