Arrived at my brothers at about 4pm, and a bit overwhelming for my brother Sam. He gets a bit over excited and emotional at these reunions. We had a lovely evening catching up, laughing, drinking and eating good food.
Elaine and I spent our first day in Mount Martha, which was gorgeous and sunny, visiting the local village to get some supplies and then taking a walk to local beach called Birdrock, very peaceful, calm water for swimming, and plenty of space to lay down your towel.
I went with Sam to his local golf course for a quick 9 holes on day 2, my first swing for 2 and a half months. Then went for a drive to a place called Flinders which was great. In the afternoon Elaine and I took off to meet up with an old mate of mine Biff, before having a little reunion with some old mate at Hermie Kat’s place in Chelsea. Nice fun evening, plenty of beers and wine, and chat about all sorts of things.
Day 4 in Melbourne and we took a drive to Port Nepean which is the furthest point east on Port Philip bay. Drove through some very expensive holiday resort towns Sorrento and Portsea, with some incredible properties.
At the end of the drive there is a National Park, which is well worth a visit for lovely walks, beaches and interesting historical buildings that used to be associated with the quarantine and hospitalisation of incoming immigrants in the 1850’s. In more recent times it became an army barracks.
