Exploring day 3

Today we found our way to a park..Green Bottle Lake Park..I was expecting native bush and a lake....but no....it was a pine plantation with walking and biking rtracks and a pond !!!!

we had a good walk and finally asked a local where the lake was....there isnt one was her answer so we decided to go to the beach instead!!

love how the beaches stretch on forever from here!!

off we go!! We walked for about 15 mins and then hubby said he wanted to head back, so we returned to the car and drove to the Brighton pier

fromma cafe at the end of the pier, where we got a cuppa

we watched this man create this amazing picture in the sand with a plastic rake....I was very impressed

the view from the end of the pier

sadly coming back we saw the tide had come in and part of the creation had gone

we drove to the end of Marine Parade and on the way I had to stop as there were several limestone sculptures on the side of the road

lots of native plants had been planted around and behind them and there was a lovely plaque on a bench seat

I wondered if this lady was a local artist.....was a wonderful place to be,  there were also work tables and water for carving. One of those treasures you sometmes come across and as I was driving we stopped!!!

Later I went off to do some geocaching

and passed this beautiful garden, the rose perfume was beautiful 

and this carving was at the entrance to a retirement village...amazing what you see when you are out walking. Will leave you in peace now!! Lol!!

Off to do a few stitches.

Happy sewing.
