Something that I am trying to do this year is #explore my own home. Each month I try something new. This month I finally went for a swim at the #beach. I found this rather lovely hidden gem #FingalBeach

I am not going to lie. The reason I ended up choosing it was because of the name. I got to visit #scotland last year but not #FingalCaves so I jumped at the chance to visit this.

And it was glorious. A quiet beach. A beach away from cities and tall buildings. I saw #Terns and baby bush turkeys. The water was insanely clear and the litter leaf Forrest was so much fun to walk through. I saw the #volcanic rock, #australianwildflowers and cook island. I have a list of things to research and write about and can't wait to start.

I'm sunburnt and exhausted but it was so much fun and I already have plans to go back.

Pretty wildflowers in the rewilding patch along Gatehouse St in Parkville. Really enjoyed the early morning ride up Swanston Street in the CBD for the first time to get there. #wildflowers #rewilding #australianwildflowers #cycling #Melbournebased
