A view from Point Napean : Summer morning . . .

Point Nepean (Boonwurrung: Boona-djalang) marks the southern point of The Rip (the entrance to Port Phillip) and the most westerly point of the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria, Australia. It was named in 1802 after the British politician and colonial administrator Sir Evan Nepean by John Murray in HMS Lady Nelson. Its coast and adjacent waters are included in the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park, while its land area is part of the Point Nepean National Park. The point includes Cheviot Beach on its southern side, notable as the site of the disappearance in 1967 of Australia's then-Prime Minister Harold Holt.

 

Took this picturesque image on a fine summer's morning. To the right of Point Lonsdale Lighthouse is Port Phillip Bay, and Bass Strait is to the left. The sea was calm with varying shades of blue and green.
