Mornington Peninsula

20.11.2011 - 23.11.2011

by Siegmund

It turns out difficult to find a nice campsite along the noisy Nepean Road at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula. Because of low season most of the campgrounds here are closed making the ones that are open very crowded... After several ‘u turns’ we end up in the Sorrento Foreshore Reserve only to find the best campsite ever: site 210 if you ever would consider camping here. I am sure a real estate agent would advertise this place as an absolute beachfront property with panoramic water views and private beach access. We feel like millionaires.
The next few days we explore the surrounds of Sorrento and can understand why many Melbourne millionaires have build their holiday home here. Although it is supposed to be summer it feels more like Belgian autumn with a continuous cold southern wind that keeps us away from the stunning beaches and rockpools. After a few shivering cold nights we give in and buy an electrical heater to keep us warm at night. Bloody Aussie summer, where are you ??

  1. Goed hier ook nog even een reactie op want die camper plek ziet er wel heel gaaf uit! Moet ik onthouden! En wat leuk al die speeltuinen! Ongetwijfeld blijft het een gegoochel soms met twee kleine kinderen maar wat ziet het er op de foto's elke keer weer fantastisch uit jullie reis!! Veel plezier en tot de volgende update!
