With each winter I learn to appreciate the season more and enjoy the contrast it brings. Yes, the wind is icy cold but there’s nothing like the feeling of a long beach walk and breathing in the crisp, fresh air. To be honest, we have had some glorious days on the Mornington Peninsula this winter and the regular appearance of blue skies and sunshine makes it a perfect place to visit during the cooler months. Check out some of our finest creatives at local markets, family friendly events and wonderful workshops throughout August.
