Easter Sunday
Wild Kangaroo!
It being Easter Sunday, with the whole country shut again, we proceeded to Lysterfield Lake Park for some mountain biking. Fat chance. Some race was taking place, and they used every bit of single trail in the entire park. Not pleased. So we stuck to the management tracks and spotted several wild kangaroos. This one obligingly posed for the camera. Neat.
On the way back from Lysterfield Lake Park, slightly earlier than planned due to the unavailability of tracks, we decided to make a bee-line for the bay and the adjacent cycle track. The weather this Easter is just too nice to be indoors -- 26C and sunny, at the Southern equivalent of October. This is Sandringham Marina.
Brighton Beach. It was late afternoon hence nearly deserted.
Melbourne CBD as seen from Sandringham Marina. The blimp flies over the city frequently. Missed a shot where the blimp briefly went between us and the sun, causing a cloud in a cloudless sky.
Another example of the modern art in evidence everywhere around Melbourne.
