Au jusant, le parc se découvre, laissant apparaître l'immense étendue de casiers, que viennent brasser (ou virer) les ostréiculteurs. C'est un ballet d'une vingtaine de tracteurs qui évoluent parmi les concessions. En parcourant plusieurs centaines de mètres, je trouve ces tables (ou chantiers) vides, où je pose le matériel pour profiter du coucher de soleil.
At ebb tide, the oysters farm appears. A vast stretch of bags on racks. It's a ballet of twenty tractors of oyster farmers, evolving among the concessions. Going through several hundred meters, I find these racks voids where I put the equipment to enjoy the sunset.

I would have passed this straight had not the geologist pointed it out. If you look closely you should see the outline of a horn which is really the cross section of a shellfish.
Geology and History of Flinders Blowhole, Melbourne
Introduction The Flinders Blowhole, located near the town of Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula, is a fascinating geological feature that offers a glimpse into both the natural history and the dynamic processes that have shaped this coastal region over millennia. This essay explores the geological formation and historical significance of the Flinders Blowhole, providing insights into its unique characteristics and the role it has played in the cultural and natural heritage of Melbourne.
Geological Formation The Flinders Blowhole is a natural sea cave and blowhole formed through the processes of coastal erosion. The geological composition of the area primarily consists of basalt rock, which originated from volcanic activity that occurred around 48 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. The basalt rock, being relatively resistant to erosion, has withstood the test of time, while the relentless force of waves has gradually eroded the softer layers of rock, creating the sea cave.
The blowhole itself is formed when seawater, driven by waves, rushes into the sea cave and forces its way through a vertical shaft or fissure in the rock. As the water is expelled through the opening, it creates a dramatic spout of water, sometimes reaching impressive heights. This natural spectacle is particularly striking during high tide or stormy weather when the waves are more powerful.
Historical Significance The Flinders Blowhole holds cultural and historical importance for the indigenous Boon Wurrung people, who have inhabited the Mornington Peninsula for thousands of years. The area around the blowhole was traditionally used for fishing and gathering shellfish, and it holds spiritual significance in the stories and traditions of the Boon Wurrung community.
In more recent history, the Flinders Blowhole has become a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts. The rugged coastal landscape, combined with the dramatic display of the blowhole, makes it a captivating spot for visitors seeking to experience the raw beauty of nature. The blowhole is part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park, which was established in 1975 to protect and preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the region.

Grilling fresh caught kaki (oysters) at Miyajima Island, Japan.
These fellows remind me so much of the Mario Brothers 😊.
Fresh BC mussels - much better than the PEI mussels bought elsewhere.
