Cooling off
At Williamstown Beach. After today's 44 degrees, it's a relief!

This is a place where I share my ideas and my writing and put into practice my hopes for greater connection, critical thinking and clear expression amongst people who care about our world, our communities, and each other. Social and political issues, writing, language, fathers and fathering - these are some of the things you'll find here.

About Me
- Name: Mark Lawrence
- Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I am a writer and a reader, and believe in the power of words and images to make a difference. I make a basic living helping other people's words look good, and need to express my ideas in my own words and images to keep sane. I am also a father: my two young sons are currently the joy and challenge of my life, and I'm loving it.

I'm east of you (a little north of the boarder), but on the coast. We get cool mornings with the see breeze then 45° afternoons for 4 or 5 hrs as the winds come from the west, then it cools to 25° or so around sunset
bizarre
What a beautiful pic, I've saved a copy for my screensaver slideshow :-)
I would like to be there just now. It was 7 degrees F here today...Too darn cold for my taste!
:)
Mark - Willi is "our" beach, too.
I haven't been there since the channel dredging started, although son has done a swimming and safety clinic there with the school.
Did you feel the water quality was OK?
Did it look & feel the same?
Have you heard anything on the grapevine about water quality at Willi?
