Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

Looking for a good place to holiday?  Look no further than  VENUS BAY... If you have just wandered in from the other side of the world  I hope you'll enjoy visiting this spectacular Victorian small coastal resort. If you have been with me throughout our April A to Z Wander Victoria* adventure, we are just across the bay from jet - skiing in Inverloch day! We love  Venus Bay !  We very nearly bought a holiday house there a few years ago, before deciding on a closer location on the Mornington Peninsula, and being the unadventurous types, opting for a town on mains drainage!  However for many, the pristine surf beaches make it worth going the extra mile. Venus Bay is a two-hour drive, being 170 km South East of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The town is on a narrow peninsula of land, so it offers the holiday maker the choice of the wild, open sea of Bass Strait,  or  the calm waters of Anderson Inlet. ...

Up the creek without a paddle! Australia is blessed with some great beaches, so it is always interesting to see where the most popular holiday spots are. You'll rarely if ever, find a beach that fails to deliver... Yet  what stands out with the best frequented Victorian coastal destinations, is that they often offer both the sheltered, calm swimming beaches, together with the surfing ocean beaches.  Inverloch, Gippsland, Victoria Inverloch, a seaside holiday town 143 km South East of Melbourne has both ocean and inlet beaches. Despite being on the choppy Bass Strait, which is great for all forms of surfing, it also has the gentle, protected waters of Andersons Inlet. It justly deserves its reputation as a wonderful location for a family holiday. I hope you have your walking shoes on because today I'm going to take you on the Screw Creek nature walk to take in some fresh salt air. Our little wander starts at the back of the Inverloch Foreshore C...
