St. Kilda

Monday was a public holiday for the Queen’s birthday so my darling and I set off for St. Kilda. Over the weekend we had cycled everywhere but decided on public transport for our outing to the bay. Unfortunately track work was being done so it was a frustrating trip by bike to the station, then train, tram, bus and tram again before we arrived.


The day was bleak – good weather to be by the water – and there is always an array of delicious cakes to fortify!


Luna Park was busy and I hadn’t realised that the roller coaster, built in 1912, is the only one in the world that has a man standing on it to operate the brakes.


It was good to be out exploring but we took a different route home…
