Local attractions 23/3/2013
Just returned from an invigorating bike ride and riverbank walk in our new neighbourhood. It’s very scenic on a semi-sunny day, but I’m told to expect dramatic views when the storms roll in from the south-west.
The view from our upper balcony.
Looking to the east.
Hopkins River tour boat with Proudfoot’s boatshed-cum-restaurant and bar in the background.
Proudfoot’s where we’re dining tonight. Great place for a beer on the deck on a sunny day.
Lyndoch on the riverbank where generations of Warrnamboolians have seen out their twilight years.
The view upriver. Our place is on the hill behind the boathouse.
Our trainee removalist did his bit.
Couldn’t post an album without my lastest pic of daughter and grandson. A former horsebreeder opined the other day: “With those looks he clearly dropped to the dam”.
Nice photos Bernie. Being from Sydney anywhere west of Melbourne is part of the world unfortunately I remain totally unfamiliar with, so thanks. It looks different to NSW and QLD.
Looks like heaven to me. Too bad about the name, though.
Warrnambool … almost as bad as Thirlmere!
