Arthurs Seat
It took forever to get here, but this is the Arthurs Seat area on the Mornington Peninsular near Melbourne.
Typical Australian Foliage - in winter.
It is a very developed area, lots of tracks, photos were not great. This is the kind of path.
Here is the view in a rare period of sunshine with Port Phillip Bay, probably photo of the day.
I always enjoy moss covered trees.
You can take a cable car to the top but I do not know why you would bother as it is not far. The cafe at the top is actually reasonably priced too.
The view from the main lookout is obscured by trees. They need to cut down the trees.
A bit of cable car and the view. Its only 350 metres up. I think I have forgotten how to use my camera, or the exposure is wrong, I dont know. Something made these photos underwhelming.
The actual seat. It has something to do with 2 x RAAF planes crashing here training for WW2.
The cloud provided silver light, here you can see boats in the ocean.
A bit more of the view, this time under cloud cover, not so blue. Blue is better.
This had something to do with Matthew Flinders. I couldnt get a clear photo of the best angle as there were people sitting on it having lunch.
Final photo is a purple flower. My camera has no macro mode so it is hard to get auto focus to work, I should probably have used manual focus.
