Hey everyone, not much to say right now. Have a lot of
papers coming up; school is getting a little intense. Monday we had classes all
day and Tuesday we had a field trip to Cape Schanck. Which was a fun day, it
was very hot but we got to poke around in the tide pools. Then we went on a
long hike through the brush to a hidden beach, which was beautiful (I’ll post a
picture) and the waves felt so good after the long hot hike.
Today we had class and then a tour of Parliament, which was
interesting. The inside of the Parliament building has between five and six
million dollars worth of gold flaking in the architecture. It’s amazingly
beautiful.
Most of us are still suffering from sore throats, which have
mostly turned into coughs. Sadly, this sucks even more than a sore throat.
Tomorrow we have an all day trip to Bendigo to see a War,
Chinese, Art and City Museums. Directly after we return, we will be jumping on
an all night bus to Sydney. We won’t be back until Monday morning, so I promise
to fill you all in on how that trip went as soon as I can when we return.

The beach we reached after the hike. So refreshing.
Walking down the street in Melbourne. Modern buildings mixed with Gothic looking architecture.
Parliament of Victoria.

Cape Schanck is a locality in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula and separates the wild ocean waters of Bass Strait from the slightly calmer waters of Western Port.
ReplyDeleteThe most recognisable symbol of Cape Schanck is the Cape Schanck Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1859 and was the second lighthouse built in Victoria. A prominent rock outcrop is Pulpit Rock and stands out at the very tip of the cape.
