Arthur's Seat

Baba's thought for today.

" Service springs out of love and it scatters

Love in profusion."

Arthur's Seat is a hill resort located more than 302 meters above sea level. It is a granite peak on Mornington Peninsula. The main attraction here is the reward of a panoramic view of the surrounding area as well as the natural bushland with mixed varieties of eucalyptus trees. The scent of the eucalyptus is very refreshing ...just like being in a spa while we sat down for a simple lunch of the breakfast leftovers which we packed from Boxhill shopping complex. Sitting on the hugh metal chair, Arthur's Seat, certainly did give me a sense of being "lord of all I survey"!! Enjoying the cool wind in the midday sun was an unsual experience.We would have seen some animals if we had strolled along one of the many tracks in the park.

On the drive down the treacherous slopes we made four stops at the lookout points to capture some interesting shots. The first is Chapmans Point 274 m, the Murrays lookout 247 m, Franklin Point 195 m and the lowest is Bowens Point 145 m. We were luckily to have clear blue skies and cool weather to make this a worthwhile and enjoyable trip.
