Mornington Tours

Mornington Peninsula Gallery

The tip where the bay meets the ocean, the ridge above the bay towns and painted bathing boxes on the sand. Then steaming pools in the bush and vines on the hills. Weighing up a Mornington day tour? These are the places the days take you.

The set starts at the tip of the peninsula. You see the road running out through the dunes, and the headland at dusk with calm bay water on one side and surf on the other. Then a gun emplacement in the scrub, and the old white buildings on their lawn.

Next it turns north along the coasts. You see the boardwalk down to the rocks at Cape Schanck and the bay from the ridge above Dromana. A gondola cabin climbs over the water, and Sorrento's pier sits below the cliff top.

It ends inland. You see a row of bathing boxes and a jetty under Norfolk pines. Then the paths between the pools at Fingal, and a vineyard turning gold in autumn.
