The Bellarine Penisula

A rainy Sunday morning turned into a beautiful sunny afternoon.   We drove out to the Bellarine Penisula which besides having a coast dotted with small beach towns like Queenscliff provides rolling fields of olive trees and vineyards. We stopped at the Jack Rabbit Vineyard for lunch and a chilled bottle of their chardonnay.  I had local mussels fresh from the next bay...Portarlington.  Rachel's grandmother had

lived in that area and Rachel often played on the beach there.  We drove along the beach road on our way home.  The sea was calm and sparkled in the afternoon sun.  A postcard scene for sure.
