Art

I love public art and Victoria seems to have a lot.

This ships figure head was carved out of a dead tree in Torquay in the 70's after the original disappeared in the 1950's.

It had sailed all the way from Scotland in the late 1800's only to sink just off the coast. 

Figure heads are another favourite of mine and the Fremantle Maritime Museum has a rather lovely collection, sadly they wouldn't fit in the car! 

The Sundial

This amazing mosaic sundial was created by the Lions Club in Torquay. 

You stand on the correct month located on the eagles body and look for your shadow, which points towards the numbers and there you have the time.

Adjust for daylight saving.

Hells Bells

Nothing could be more appropriate than to open the Bells Beach Surfing competition with the AC DC classic Hells Bells.

Australia's own Steph Gilmore in the orange.

Looking down on Bells, yes I hiked all the way down and back up again!

How couldn't you love a beach called Winkipop!

Bunnies

Happy Easter, this dear little display was outside a lovely shop in Barwon Heads.

For those of us old enough to remember it was where they filmed Sea Change.

We have just returned from a wonderful week in Torquay watching the surfing at Bells.
