So I headed into Melbourne once again to explore some more!
Along the Yarra River

Birrarung Marr Federation Bells (39 electronic bells)

More Yarra

And now for my day tour to Wilson's Promontory, the southernmost point of the Australian mainland!



View of Philip Island along the drive there



Can you spot the emus?







The trees burned in the Black Saturday fires of Feb 2009

Regrowth on the trees...

View from Mt. Bishop....

But an even better view!



See Mt. Bishop? Toward the center left- yeah, I know it wasn't at the tip, but we could still see all the islands!!

PLUS a wombat





Walk to Squeaky Beach, where the sand squeaks as you walk










Squeaky Beach!!
