A walk along Port Melbourne Beach

This is a recording of my walk a few days ago… I have included an illustration (my interpretation, is not according to scale and  blah blah blah as per usual disclaimers)

Please click on the illustration and images to enlarge.

The order of the images is according to when I photograph them, starting from the bottom left.

Boats at Station Pier. On the left is the Spirit of Tasmania (a ferry that sails to and fro Port Melbourne and Tasmania), and on the right is The World (a cruise ship)

Pier

Another pier further along the beach, which is popular with anglers

Pier_SpiritOfTasmania

The pier again. The Spirit of Tasmania started to move, and got into my picture

Playground

Shades of a playground along the beach

BeachVolleyball

Beach volleyball courts were not used, as it was still early. I suspect this section of the beach was being cleaned, judging by the sand…

Memorial

A memorial along the beach. A close-up of the plaque is shown on the right

FoodandDrink

Walking is hard work, so a trip to the local cafe is well-deserved

Sculpture

Back to where I started. The sculpture titled “Destination” celebrates the history of Station Pier and the development of Beacon Cove (the development along the waterfront)
