The Christmas Lunch at Emerald Lake Park.
Here Len is playing host.

Clio making the presentation and
handing out the hamper prizes.

Clio was talking to Rosemary - my other pic
of this table would have me fired.

Shoot the photographer. A record, none the
less.

Rudi chaired this table

Cheers, Gwenda.

The Boatshed Shelter - our venue. It poured
down a few times and we were very grateful
for the cover.

The ferry arrives at Sorrento to take us across
the bay - on a truly magnificent day

Rosemary and Don with yours truly - just so
that no one can say that I never put my own
pic in the blog!

Arriving at the Queenscliff docking station

The new 360 degree tower near the Queenscliff
docking station from the waterfront

View from the stairs just beneath the viewing
platform of the tower - towards the bay and
the wetlands

Boat moving into entrance to marina from
the bay

Through the glass at 360 degee tower. The

Lunch at the Queenscliff Bowling Club

Walking along the road to John's Hill reserve.
The gardens are all so attractive.

A bit misty, but what rustic splendour.

There were any number of lovely homes.
farms and estates. A beautiful area to live in.

This horse was having a great time rolling in
mud and grass

Lunch at Clematis Station - note the mud in
the foreground
