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.
