Sullivan Bay, Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Sullivan Bay is scattered with private jetties that stretch out into Port Phillip Bay and it is a popular site for photographers to shoot sunrise and sunset. When I arrived at the jetty on this morning there was already about six photographers set up waiting for the sun to rise. I took a range of shots including some long exposures. Sullivan Bay is the site of Victoria's first white settlement back in 1803. The settlement was located on the eastern point. The two calcarenite headlands that border the 400 m long bay are known as The Sisters. A foreshore reserve backs the western half of the bay and the historic section of the eastern Sister.

Fingal Beach, Cape Schanck, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. The Fingal Beaches lie on the western side of Cape Schanck. They can be reached along the walking tracks from Cape Schanck and Fingal Picnic Area car parks. The two beaches are remnants of a once large beach, that supplied sand to the backing cliff-top dunes. Today they have been eroded down to the present strip of sand, fronted by rock platforms and reefs. They are backed by the 40 m high calcarenite cliffs with the active dunes on top.Both beaches face south-west into the full force of the westerly winds and waves. The waves break on the offshore reefs and rocks; and the narrow beaches are only active at high tide.

Shelly Beach lies between the 20 m high calcarenite bluffs of Point Franklin and Point King. There are boat sheds below the bluffs at the back, with several jetties extending across the beaches. The beaches face north-north-east and usually receive low wind waves. They are both relatively narrow and steep, with deep water at high tide, but tidal flats at low tide. There are boats moored off the beach and the jetties.

London Bridge, Portsea, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. London Bridge is a well known, hollowed out sea stack that can be viewed from a lookout at the end of London Bridge Road. On either side of London Bridge are two high tide platform beaches, backed by 30 to 40 m high calcarenite bluffs and fronted by continuous intertidal rock flats, with reefs further offshore. Waves average 1.7 m on the outer reefs, with their height at the beach depending on the tide. The narrow sand beaches are awash at high tide, but fronted by exposed rock flats at low tide.

The Cattle Jetty, Observation Point, Point Nepean, Portsea, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Little remains of the Cattle Jetty, nor the associated stock quarantine station, that was added to the quarantine facilities at Point Nepean in 1879. Now just one section of the jetty remains and another section was washed away recently. The jetty is surrounded by drift wood that has been washed up around the structure. This morning some photographers told me that the second structure had recently been washed away, so i decided to go and check it out for myself.
