QUEENSCLIFF, VICTORIA

Welcome to Queenscliff, The Jewel of the Bellarine Peninsula and forms one side of Port Phillip Heads - opposite Point Nepean in the Mornington Peninsula. It is surrounded by Bass Strait, Port Phillip Bay and Swan Bay on three sides.
It is about 107 km from Melbourne.

We (me, Zul, Zainah and her husband) suddenly decided to go for a trip for the weekend. Zainah and Huzaizi bought a 7 seater car for their family recently. Since it is a 7 seater car, me and Zul will definitely fit in.

We started early, Huzaizi drove the car from Dandenong and fetch Zul at High Street then Zul drove the car to my place. The travelling took about 1 hour and 44 minutes. Really it was a nice weather on Sunday as expected.

Reached Queenscliff just quater to 11 am. We stop at the information center, then walk around the town center of Queenscliff. Nice small town.

Then quarter to 12.00 noon, we look for a place to have our lunch before start exploring Queenscliff. We found a nice spot. Still not many people around, considering we were early. As usual Zainah always prepared all the foods. Nasi goreng, Nasi putih, beef rendang, Chicken fried with honey, sausages while Zul made sambal tumis telur goreng. Yumm and me hehe I did bought anything just my empty tummy.... hahaha...

We had a nice lunch picnic in the park under the shade of tall old trees with cooling sea breeze. So cooling and refreshing. Feels like to lie down after having a big meal. :-)

Then we started to stroll along the beaches. Ashraf was excited while on the beach.

Seems like Ashraf like to pose

Family photo. Zainah , Huzaizi and the rest of their family.

It was getting warmer. Should have brought my 3/4 pants and sandals.

The Old jetty.

It was quite a long walk and stop at each interesting spot or when we spotted some interesting items on the beach. Shells, star fish etc.....

Then we passes by the famous cliff and also once upon a time an old fortresses.

We identified colorful shells.

Fishing. Most Australian favorite passed time.

Almost more than an hour we strolled along the beach, then we climb up the cliff and started walking back to our initial spot. In between we stop at the Fort of Queenscliff.

Supposedly you could go inside the fortress and have guided tour.

One of the two light house. Only could be seen from outside the fence.

We were a little bit exhausted after the long walk, had few minutes break and lie down on the grass while at the same time having a nice ice cream.

Before we started our journey back to Melbourne we stop at an old railway station of Queenscliff.
