Wonthaggi & Cape Paterson

---

Between Wonthaggi and Inverloch on the coastal road is Cape Paterson with its nasty twin reefs.

Sunday dawned windy and cold, but the bleak rain of Saturday has moved on, and by the afternoon we had patches of bright sun.

We visited the local Baptist Curch at Wonthaggi for Communion in the morning. Looks to be a historic building well maintained and modern facilities. Folk who greeted us were very friendly, and it is lucky we got there early as the ushers needed a shoe horn to get everyone in.

In the afternoon we drove to Cape Paterson for a 'Sunday afternoon drive', or in my case (and Margs) another photo opportunity. I never tire of photographing the moods of the sea. Today the surf was running having had a strong southerly (chilly) wind for the past few days.

There is an unusual rock formation standing at Eagles Nest, and it looks like one of the sea eagles was at home when photographing.

This point is also popular with surfers. Despite the cool winds, there were quite a number in the surf or getting ready to ride the waves. The water may have been warmer than the air.

There was a moment's embarassment as we arrived in the carpark with a 'Full Moon' on display in the middle of the afternoon.

It looks cold and uninviting with plenty of rocks and not much beach. great shots and we did spy the eagle on top of the nest. You are having a great time viewing places oh to be young and rich!! Just off to inspect 68 inside and out. Have fun and drive carefully. Love US2@136
