As Summer morphs into Autumn, the volatile weather that Melbourne is renowned for eases and the days are more constant making it more predictable for outdoor activities.
Like sailing…
Candle light concerts…
A bit of trail riding, walking and swimming in the Lerderderg Gorge…
Wandering through the outdoor photo exhibition that is part of Photo 2024 that is happening in Melbourne…
For me, though, the most meaningful images were of two significant events that touched Australia.
When Australia sprinter Peter Norman, stood in solidarity with his American sprint compatriats at the Mexico Olympics.
And when Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, for the first time, recognised Aboriginal land rights in Australia, at Wave Hill Station.
The calmer weather means that the water in Honsons Bay is very clear so the sea grass and sea lettuce provide beautiful colours on the sea bed.
I do love Autumn in the southeast of Australia.
Interesting as always! You have had a lot of great trips to far-away places this past year, but it’s also fun to see what’s just around the corner, eh?
Yes thats for sure. Never forget the places that are close ar hand.
Wow, great pics! Love the Melbourne photos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Yes the Photo 2024 exhibition is amazing
What a fantastic Gorge!
Yes a lovely litttle gorge and the water always flows. The swimming hole is fantastic.
Great shots Mic. I’m looking forward to seeing Photo 2024. When it cools down 🙂
Its really worth having plenty of time to walk around the city and spend time at each site.
