Port Melbourne Loop
Autumn is here
Against my better judgement I was persuaded to come along for a bicycle ride despite the freezing cold weather. All right, 18 degrees and windy with the sun occasionally peeking through the clouds. That practically qualifies as winter; first bicycle ride with long trousers and a sweather. I caught this Pacific Gull at the mouth of the Yarra, just as it was taking off to find some normal-sized sea gulls to scare.
A view of the city from Westgate Park. The recent rains have left everything lush and green.
Despite the amount of rain, water levels are far from recovered. This island in Westgate Park is meant to be surrounded by water but there are still only a few puddles as yet.
