Winchelsea

Travel Guide

Winchelsea, a little town in rural Victoria nestled on the banks of the Barwon River. A fantastic place to stop and rest when on your way to the 12 Apostles or the Great Ocean Road. #Golden light on sunset as viewed from along the Barwon River.
Sunset from the Winchelsea Cemetery on a hot and dry evening. Winchelsea is on the Princes Highway between Colac and Geelong and has many interesting places for photographers, not widely known.
Even weeds look good when the sun puts on such a beautiful display.
Sunset over Lake Murdeduke, Winchelsea, as seen through my glass ball.
The south west side of town at sunset on a very humid evening. A haze developed giving the sky this beautiful colour.
