Halls Gap
Up late, slow breakfast, nice sunshine, feels warmer than yesterday, that's nice. On the walk at 11:00 up a closed track, but wonderful build, just a few fallen trees, no problem up to the rocky ridge. Real nice walking on rock plates, I love this stuff.
The Pinnacle Lookout on top of a cliff.
The whole walk was very nice and pleasant. Down at the lake I walked on the dam and then down the road to Halls Gap. Trying to hitch hike. Very nice farmers with a volunteer worker picked me up and gave me a ride back to the city centre and a free introduction to the Brambuk centre. Thanks!
Beautiful evening dinner at YHA with an invitation by the manager: Thank you again!
Stay at the YHA or Tim's Place, choose yourself, both are great.
Please all the other's id did not mention any more, please forgive me. I am fairly drunken now with all the wine served with dinner. Late now too, so that's it for this day what is published from days adventures.

Melbourne - Dromana Mornington Peninsula
I left Melbourne by train, quite early in the morning, nice sunshine, quiet in the city. I got a train ticket at the main counter easily. Train up to Frankston, 30 minutes to wait, I bought some postcards, a knife and something else. Hitting the bus to Dromana being there around lunchtime, calling my host: no credit on the prepaid any more! Waiting .. she came and picked me up: Great! Recharging the prepaid failed, shit!
She showed me around in their amazing new house on the farm ground just outside the city. Really gorgeous.
I had a chat with her husband and left for a little walk up the hill into the state park.
I went slow, taking a lot of shots of all these new plants, new to me only, I suppose 🙂
On my way back I got picked up and she wanted to show me some wallabies. Phone call: her friend Andrew pulled one shoulder paddle surfing. So she asked me about car driving: I said that's fine with me.
So we drove up to the beach, better we search it in almost dark, we found him with some guys helping. Andrew still in his wet suit shivering in the cold. We drove up to the doctor on Red Hill who was very skilled and rearranged the joints with ease. Instantly his pain was almost gone. We waited half an hour, relaxing and observing than we went back to the farm house.
Getting a shower, cleaning up my cloth, had supper and watched TV while chatting a little bit.

Category description

Sunlight, in the broad sense, is the total frequency spectrum of electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun. On Earth, sunlight is filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere, and solar radiation is obvious as daylight when the Sun is above the horizon.
When the direct solar radiation is not blocked by clouds, it is experienced as sunshine, a combination of bright light and radiant heat. When it is blocked by the clouds or reflects off of other objects, it is experienced as diffused light.
The World Meteorological Organization uses the term „sunshine duration“ to mean the cumulative time during which an area receives direct irradiance from the Sun of at least 120 watts per square meter.
Sunlight may be recorded using a sunshine recorder, pyranometer or pyrheliometer. Sunlight takes about 8.3 minutes to reach the Earth.
Direct sunlight has a luminous efficacy of about 93 lumens per watt of radiant flux, which includes infra-red, visible, and ultraviolet light. Bright sunlight provides illuminance of approximately 100,000 lux or lumens per square meter at the Earth’s surface.
Sunlight is a key factor in photosynthesis, a process vital for life on Earth.

Sunshine is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia lying 11 to 13 km west of the CBD. Its Local Government Area is the City of Brimbank. At the 2006 Census, Sunshine had a population of 8,070.
The township of Sunshine was earlier known as Braybrook Junction.
The Braybrook Junction Post Office opened on 25 August 1890.
In 1904 H. V. McKay bought the Braybrook Implement Works. In 1906 McKay moved his agricultural machinery manufacturing business from Ballarat to Braybrook Junction. This established the Sunshine Harvester Works which became the largest manufacturing plant in Australia. McKay had also secured 400 acres (1.6 km) of land at Braybrook Junction with the aim of establishing housing to encourage his workers to settle in the area. In 1907 the locality was renamed Sunshine, after residents had petitioned to change the name in honour of the Sunshine Harvester Works.
Also in 1907 an industrial dispute between the owner H. V. McKay and his workers at the Sunshine Harvester Works…
