Melbourne to Cowes to San Remo to Wonthaggi to to Korumburra to Warragul Ride

For this ride I caught the train from Marshal Station up to Melbourne then on to  Mentone where I caught up with Clive.
By chance the Littles were on their way to check out the Meyer Christmas Windows display. Great to catch u[p.

We then cycled down to Stony Point mainly along new cycle tracks, courtesy of the new ring road developments.

Train travel with the MyKey Card was very cheap at less than $5.00.

Managed to find a Marples chisel in one of the many old wares stores Clive managed to hunt out.

From Stony Point it is a short ferry trip to Cowes where we stayed overnight. Great meal at the RSL. The Arthur Phillip Motor Inn was stingy on hot water and tea an biscuits.

 

 

 Waiting for the ferry at Stony Point

 After the ferry and overnight stay at Cowes a short ride to San Remo saw us taking in the view before coffee and cake at a local café.

 From San Remo to Wonthaggi  there is a very nice Rail Trail which takes in beaches and ocean views. Some of the track is cut up where local horse riders have been using it after rain and before the track dries and hardens.

 This bridge is the original rail bridge, probable a bit rickety for trains but ok for the ocassional cyclist.

 

 

Below is the view from Cape Patterson. the Cycling from here to Inverloch is excellent with many headlands and beaches to see.

 

 

The ride from Inverloch to Warragul took us up over the hills and then down on to the Great Southern Road, which was relatively car free and beautifully green.
