Cape Paterson with Mum November 2023

 The Melbourne Mamouney's have and annual catch up on the Melbourne Cup holiday, so finally managed to get myself organised to go down to Melbourne for that. I flew down on the Saturday then took mum away for 2 nights down to Cape Paterson, just over an hour from Berwick. We had a lovely 2 nights away then drove up to Kim and Fil's on the Tuesday for the Melbourne Cup BBQ. It was great to catch up with family members all in the one place. I flew back to Canberra on the Wednesday.

We enjoyed a light lunch at the Old Dalyston Church Cafe- great service and lovely food.

We stopped off at Kilcunda Beach, found the Old Trestle Bridge which is now a bike trail

Victoria certainly has lovely beaches.

Mum enjoyed listening to the waves and just seeing the ocean

Another day we drove up to Loch, it was a lovely drive through rolling green hills, lots of dairy cows.

Loch was delightful town, some lovely shops and cafes

Just outside of Loch was a suspension bridge- always a fun thing to cross 

We found an easy access beach just out of Inverloch and mum enjoyed a walk on the beach and even found some shells to collect.

It was a lovely coastal drive between Cape Paterson and Inverloch, sometimes referred to as a mini "Great Ocean Road"

We also visited the Inverloch Shell Museum, mum was in shell heaven.
