A good day out

Any sunny day is a good day out, but even better when you can slip the roof off, then climb down into the low and sleek Ferrari 308 GTS and cruise to the southern coast of Victoria.

 

The setting here for this forced perspective shot is the riverside carpark at Nelson, a lovely sleepy and unspoilt town on Victoria's far south west coast, just a few kilometres from the South Australian state border. Local council have been spending a little money lately too with a nice new bitumen carpark here and also a good number of those new blue park-bench type seats scattered all round the town. Just out of shot to the left, a couple of small river cruise boats operate regular trips up and down the Glenelg River. To the right, the river goes round a kilometre or so before emerging into the beautiful sandy coastline. It is a great little spot for bird watching too. As well as all the usual coastal birds, I have seen much less common birds here like the rufous bristlebird and the azure kingfisher. Enticing enough to keep me coming back over and over again.
