Our weekend away........part one I think

Our little holiday as I have said was simply wonderful :o) the water was so nice to be near and it is were we belong so one day we are going to have ourselves a sea change and retire were we wake in the morning to the sounds of seagulls chatting on the beach and were I can run around like a little girl again without shoes.

We arrived at the beach at lunch time it was a very! very! hot day (over 105deg I believe) anyway we decided to eat in the car and just take in the view at peterborough this very cute seagull decided my lunch was going to be his lunch too! but sorry seagull there is something about the sea air that makes one so hungry so we had our in car picnic and enjoyed just being away and down by the seaside.

Another look at the lovely beach and rock pools at the peterborough seaside.

We looked at land while we were here and I think at $350,000.00 or $550,000.00 Aust.dollars we won't be living there any time soon.

We then took a trip along the famous lookout spots and went in and stopped at each area to view some of our past and they way it must have been for those who arrived in this country.

We have been there before many times but I still get chills when I think of all the loss of life along this beautiful coast.

Here is a little map of the very famous Loch ard gorge were the Loch ard sailing ship went down with all it passengers and crew except a young woman and young seaman they found their way into this area and were found by farmers. it is a beautiful spot but they do not call this the "ship wreck coast" for nothing.

Hundreds of sailing ships and thousands of passengers risked everything for a life in Australia.

This is were the two young survivors were found and the coast cliffs were all around. The believe the skirt and many petticoats are what saved this woman as it was like a life vest for her. while others were still in night attire and drowned.

If you look at this photo and where the two tiny wave have white caps on your far left up ear the land there that is were the ship went down.

Back down here were all the white water is, is the entrance to the gorge.

I would add more photos but that will have to be it for today the blog is not happy with me moving photos around.

I hope you will not mind if I continue this little holiday trip tomorrow with some more summer photos for you all to enjoy.

This is my Wednesday........

Now were is the sponge cake I would enjoy a piece with a nice cup of tea.
