OUR WORLD - Petrel's Cove and wonder dog


Heading down the dry, dusty road 
definitely the road less travelled - not a car in sight


down on the toe of the Fleurieu Peninsula
lies the Victor Harbour, the Agapanthus and geriatric capital
 of the known universe

tourists come to whale watch, visit Granite Island,
the Bluff or, my favourite place
Petrel's Cove

not an appropriate beach for swimming, it has a wild rip 
where the green deep-water starts 
a man and his dog were safe in the shallow water
this side of the breakers,
very wise as two swimmers have already been lost this summer.


Young Kubbi, both protective and safe


I love these Lunar landscape rocks


 a good place to shelter from the wind


after a hard day of sleeping in the car on a long trip,
romping on two beaches, meeting two dogs
at afternoon tea and growing into those big, big paws,
Kubbi enjoys a nap before the long trip home.

  5. So glad you all enjoyed it. We walk along the cliff walk there often. I nearly drowned at Petrels when I was about 17, not a good swimming beach at all.

  17. A beach day can tire anybody out, even a wonder dog! When you said geriatric Capital of the universe, I thought it was going to be about Florida, we are pretty much all old here;)
