Just back from a wonderfully relaxed week behind Apollo Bay, about 3 hours west of Melbourne. Great little house, with a wood burner, wide verandas and more than enough wildlife to keep me happy. Even if the weather was a little damper than I would have hoped for, this only made the waterfalls run better!
I think the whole family needed to 'mellow out' for a bit - and that's exactly what we did. These are some pictures from Stevensons Falls. You may get a feel for how lush and damp the place was from these pictures.
The hills behind Apollo Bay are part of the Otway Ranges - which in many places are covered in cool temperate rainforest. For those of you who have been to the Hoh Rainforest in Washington in the US, it's a very similar kind of place.
Anyway, enough of me - here are some pictures - taken in the rain!

Looks like a beautiful spot to "chill" in !!!
ReplyDeleteIf it is a little damp whe3n you go away for a short break, all the better for just relaxing by the fire, or on the verandah with a good book, and just chill out. Looks like you have had a lovely weekend. Have a great week. I'm visiting you today from Our World Tuesday from the "west".
ReplyDeleteNice creek and waterfalls! Looks like a great place to get away from it all.

ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Such lovely falls!
ReplyDeleteAwesome and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell at least the falls benefitted from the rain. It looks a beautiful place for some down time.
ReplyDeleteA perfect sort of place to mellow out ...I love waterfalls. And yes it does seem very like the Hoh rainforest, a place where we’ve camped several times over the years. Just looking at these pictures brought a sense of serenity , a quality somewhat lacking in everyone’s life over here just now.
ReplyDeleteWell, these falls are just beautiful! What an amazing place for you to stay with the family for some quiet, lovely down-time!
