Portarlington Mussel Festival

Portarlington is the home of Mussel farming in Victoria. Its about 20 mins down the road from us and being such massive seafood fans we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to go and immerse ourselves in as much mussel culture as we could muster.
The highlight of the day was definitely a trip on a boat out to the mussel beds to see where they are seeded and harvested.

Australia Day Weekend

Bex, Steve, Harry and Steves folks came over to see the yachts at the great Skandia Geelong Week regatta.
 
Definitely a few more yachts than usual.
Whatever you're having Harry wants some... and he has an eye for a beer.
Its a hard hard life
