Docklands, Melbourne An early Saturday morning solo drive of several hours for a 9 am Portarlington ferry departure. Before dawn, hopping kangaroos were avoided on the empty Western Freeway in the vicinity of Beaufort. 160 km west of Melbourne. Over two hours of driving still to go to reach Portarlington. A small bayside town. To reach Portarlington meant driving through the large city of Geelong. Both are on Port Phillip Bay. Geelong to Portarlington is 30 km by road. On the Ferry Passage was onboard Port Phillip Ferries across Port Phillip Bay to Docklands, Melbourne. City skyline skyscrapers were clearly visible across the greater than forty km ferry route. A few preferred the seating in the open-air stern of the ferry. Experiencing the stiff sea breeze, sights and sounds of the bay. Eleven large freighter ships were counted anchored in the bay. A ferry crew member explained ships have a one nautical mile separation awaiting a dock in port. Portarlington jetty to Docklands is seventy minutes by ferry. Docklands Waterfront The waterfront of Melbourne CBD offers a picturesque setting with a bustling café located conveniently next to the ferry dock. This café not only serves delicious food and drinks but also provides comfortable seating for those waiting to board or meet the ferry. Visitors can enjoy the serene views of the water and boats while relaxing in this inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the ferry berth and main jetty stands a unique and intriguing piece of art known as "The cow in the tree." This art installation adds a touch of creativity and wonder to the surrounding area, sparking curiosity and conversation among passersby. During the visit to the waterfront, I had the opportunity to explore the Boat Show held annually in October and learn about the Alma Doepel restoration project. I decided to support the cause by making a donation to the Alma Doepel dockside sausage sizzle and purchasing some merchandise items to contribute to the restoration efforts. Additionally, I was fortunate to receive a personal tour of the restoration site, gaining insights into the historical significance of the Alma Doepel and the meticulous work being done to preserve it for future generations. Perhaps restoration works and sea trials will be completed as planned in late 2025 or early 2026 allowing members of the public to once again sail on the Alma Doepel in 2026. For those looking to embark on a full day scenic return journey, the morning ferry departs from either Geelong or Portarlington, offering a delightful way to experience the beauty of the Melbourne waterfront and its surroundings. The ferry return trip takes place in the early evening, providing a relaxing and enjoyable way to conclude a day of exploration and discovery along the waterfront of Melbourne CBD.

Victoria Silo Art Trail The silo art trail winds its way for approximately two hundred kilometres, connecting a string of small towns that each hold a unique piece of silo art waiting to be discovered. Starting from Rupanyup and passing through Sheep Hills, Brim, Rosebery, Patchewollock, Lascelles, Sea Lake, and Nullawil, this trail offers a glimpse into the artistic expressions found in these remote locations. Despite their modest size, these towns boast captivating silo artworks that have become a draw for visitors seeking cultural experiences off the beaten path. Embarking on this trail from Melbourne, the journey takes about four hours one way, not accounting for the time spent admiring the silo masterpieces along the route. To fully immerse oneself in this artistic adventure, an overnight stay is recommended, with Horsham serving as a convenient base for exploration. Located approximately four hours and three hundred kilometres from Melbourne CBD, Horsham provides a comfortable respite after a day of exploring the silo art trail. Brim Brim, a quaint town nestled in the Wimmera region of Victoria, is one of the highlights along the silo art trail. Situated about three hundred and sixty kilometres northwest of Melbourne, this small community with a population of just a few hundred residents is home to a striking mural adorning its grain silo. Crafted by the talented Brisbane artist Guido Van Helten, this mural adds a touch of artistic flair to Brim's rural landscape, making it a must-see destination for art enthusiasts and travellers alike. For those seeking further amenities or services, the nearby regional hub of Horsham offers a convenient stopover to complement the silo art experience.

Birchip and Bull in the Wimmera Mallee Birchip is a town in the Mallee. The Sunraysia Highway passes through town and the town is north of Donald. A population of less than one thousand people. The region has gained widespread recognition for its association with the iconic Mallee bull and the rugged Mallee stump. One of the distinctive attractions in Birchip is a meticulously crafted replica of a massive Mallee Bull positioned prominently in the central median of the main street. This artistic representation serves as a testament to the area's rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to the resilience and strength embodied by these magnificent creatures. The presence of this symbolic sculpture not only adds character to the town but also offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness a Mallee Bull up close, showcasing the intricate details and sheer grandeur of this remarkable species. It stands as a striking reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the local community and the land, highlighting the significance of agriculture in shaping the identity of the region. As visitors stroll along the main street, they are greeted by the imposing figure of the Mallee Bull, a powerful symbol that encapsulates the spirit of Birchip and the surrounding countryside. Wycheproof Is in northwestern Victoria. Another small town of a population less than that of Birchip. The name, Wycheproof, is meant to mean 'grass on a hill'. Townspeople claim Mount Wycheproof is the smallest mountain in the world and is not a hill. Located on the fringe of town with about a height of forty-three metres. The town was famous for its yearly 'King of the Mountain' race, in which competitors had to carry a sixty kg wheat bag up the short steep road. The event attracted thousands of spectators. Donald Is a town at the junction of Sunraysia Highway and Borung Highway and has a population more than twice that of Wycheproof. There is riverside signage explaining the story behind the Bullock Head. A large man made structure of a cod fish is on the opposite riverbank. In the quaint town, nestled along the banks of the Richardson River, stands a unique and intriguing landmark known as the Bullock Head. This iconic feature, despite its name, is not a living creature but rather a striking silhouette of a dead tree that has captured the imagination of locals and visitors alike. The Bullock Head is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to the head of a bullock, with its distinctive curved horn, piercing eyes, and flared nostrils. Its weathered bark and twisted branches only add to its mystique, as if frozen in time, telling tales of a bygone era. Over the years, this natural sculpture has become a symbol of the town's rich history and a source of fascination for those who come across it. Traveling through the Wimmera Mallee region makes for an enjoyable journey.
