Hi all, this is for our northern hemisphere members who are so cold, with ice and snow. it wasn't very hot this day around 26c, but a few days earlier we had 46c-114f, which is far to hot. Oh I am originally from Liverpool UK, and can remember the cold wet winters , and I hope ,no more of them for me.

Thanks for the reply Moshe, yes it is a top place, and even in the height of summer it does not get crowded, I thinks on this day there might have been 50 people on the beach, we are so lucky here, as we are far enough away from Melbourne so as not to have many people around ,if the weather gets a bit warmer, ie 35c, I might just go and get wet,
oh also if we go inland from here, we have the Australian bush which is very nice,exept for now as we have 23 bush fires,not good, but that's what we get here in the summer.

Give him a break. Considering they started upside down he's done a great job.

Thanks for your reply Dook, as you are not that far from me, if you ever get down into Vic, have a look at Cape Conran, it a photographers dream, good scenery, and the bird life can be very good, as well as the usual sea birds, we have blue wrens, yellow breasted robins, red browed finches, sea eagles ,just to mention a few .the coast is at its best when it is very windy, and with plenty of clouds about, gives atmosphere, Colin

Thanks Jay Pat, for looking, we go to this area a lot, and never get feed up with it, even in winter when it is very windy, it look good, if anything for me it looks better with the waves crashing on to the beach, and some clouds to give real atmosphere, Colin
