Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula National Park

These pix were taken on January 21, 2012 at Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula National Park, 80 km south of Melbourne.

They show the magnificent coastal scenery on the 2 km circuit track, starting at the small car park at the end of St. John's Wood Rd (Blairgowrie).

The signed track is mostly on sand, and a staircase of about 100 steps leads down to the Beach. There are some hilly sections, and seats at various vantage points.

Beware of the huge March flies which like to eat humans!

Part of the track follows the Lifesaver Track, which forms part of the long Peninsula Coastal Walk.

Magnificent coastal scenery at Tea Tree Creek Bay

Tea Tree Creek Bay is a wonderful secluded cove on the south coast, 90 km from Melbourne, in the Mornington Peninsula National Park.

It is near the town of Flinders, and is accessed by a 1 km foot-track from the Boneo Rd. A small car park is located at the start of the signposted track.

There are magnificent views looking south across the open ocean of Bass Strait, as well as the dramatic coastlines from the clifftop, in either direction, with waves breaking over large basalt rock formations.

I visited the Bay on October 11, 2008, following the beach track to East Point, then back to the staircase, then up to the top of West Bluff.

The cliffs rise about 50 m from sea level.
