Arthurs Seat from Mount Martha
The bay is a quivering shelter An arcing lassoo of comfort ~ Arthurs Seat is a sentinel A towering lighthouse in swirling mists ~ The Rip is like a jagged tear Luring sailors to the Isle of LightDromana Pier
Once the busy hub of lime burning And the pier was the heart of shipping ~ Once laden with pastoral runs And orchards colouring the nearby mountain ~ Dromana wandered into new worlds Offering leisure and light by the sea Gaudy bathing boxes lined the shores And campers dreamed under summer stars ~ Today Dromana is an escape From Melbourne peak hours and pressures Many stroll or run by the shoreline Some sit on the pier and go fishingDromana Boat Shed Mural
Old days and old ways locked in boat walls Permanent light on old lifetimes ~ Even if the tracks are just etchings At least they lead to some memoryEntrance to Seawinds, Arthurs Seat
Walking sparks the creative spirit Seawinds is a world above worlds Garden sanctuary by the sea Walk Seawinds; breathe the mountain spiritSilver Morning Tyrone Beach, Rye
Solitude is a silver morning Crisp with the chill of the sea ~ Sand sludge slows the plodding beach dreamer Silence is a brooding sunriseSunset on Port Philip Bay from Mount Martha
A sunset on water Pools the lights of the day Into a glorious afterglowMusic of the Mountains by a Night Sea
Nightlights play the inner music ~ Haunting strings seeping from the mountains Hushed by the lapping of tidesSonglines by Night
Martha Cove is the magic of waters by night lights Like glittering secret jewels Enjoying the glory of dark waving velvetsKookaburra Songlines
I live in kookaburra songlines Verandah rails ring with laughter As dawn whispers from shadowlands Sometimes a telepathic moment Connects the secrets of our soulsBeginnings are always fragile moments
Balnarring Beach on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria is a place to reach out to wider worlds; to feel refreshed. The sands by the sea are like the songlines running between now and forever Waves ripple a melody line And the spirit sings in the salty winds
