Farewell Phillip Island and Hello Mornington Peninsula

Not too far to travel today so put the coffee mugs in so we can stop around the Western Port shores at a place called Tooradin where I read on "Wiki Camps" there is places to camp down by the boat ramp.  Very well planned for the overnight campers for only $10 with toilets and showers as well as a coffee shop right there.


A small boardwalk to look over the mangroves back towards our rig in the boat park.



So, here we are nestled beside the beach at Rosebud along with the famous and iconic "Bathing Boxes" some dating back to the 19th century.

They line the scenic 55km route from Frankston to Portsea white beaches - huts for beach toys and barbecues

This is my favourite one with seagulls decorating the front.
Drove on to Portsea and stopped at Sorrento where we are going to catch the ferry over to Queenscliff on Wednesday morning.  Found out the timetables and prices in readiness for that journey.  Like taking a trip over to Stradbroke Island - about 40 minutes.
Wow, we have just seen Portsea's clifftop mansions which is one of Australia's most expensive postcodes.  Many of these mansions worth millions of dollars and the large hotel which sits right on the beach at Sorrento have the enchanting old limestone buildings all around the area.  Talk about Millionaires Row!!
