St George the Martyr

This is St George the Martyr Anglican church at Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula.
The church was designed by Albert Purchas and built in 1863-6.
Purchas also designed the St George Uniting Church in St Kilda (1877-1880); was architect and surveyor to the Melbourne General Cemetery and designer of the Boroondara (Kew, Camberwell and Hawthorn areas) Cemetery from 1864.
In 1889, Purchas designed the cast iron entrance gates to the Boroondara Cemetery.
NOTE: It is claimed that St George church at Queenscliff is a pastiche of the 12th-13th century medieval church of St Giles in Skelton village north of Yorkshire. Ref: HERE

Sacred little world
Gathering of yesterdays

Some light on grey days

Used to be yellow...

Two years ago, the Tourist Information Centre at Dromana used to glow with yellow.
Now the walls have been painted grey with yellow features.

Once a sunny world
Now a serious grey shade
With hints of yellow

Solar Powered Model

Little solar powered model created by Grade 6 students at my school.
(And it works!)
A number of creations are on display at the front of my school, but I only discovered them a few days ago!
I was amazed what the primary students can do!
The school is encouraging younger students to explore new ideas.

Solar energy
An invisible power
With stunning results

Relaxing Boating

Drifting around the waters at Schnapper Point, Mornington was this guy in his little boat.
He was leaning back, relaxing and using pedals to get around!
