Melbourne

HMVS Cerberus (Her Majesty's Victorian Ship) is a breastwork monitor that served in the Victoria Naval Forces, the Commonwealth Naval Forces (CNF), and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1871 and 1924.

After it was decommissioned she was put here to act as a breakwater for Half Moon Bay.

Melbourne Bayside Coastal Park, #NationalPark formed to preserve precious coastal flora and fauna, as well as geography in my home city.
Overlooking Red Cliff Bluff in Blackrock, Melbourne.  
At the bottom of the bluff is my favourite bayside beach called 'Half Moon Bay'.  There is a small beach beyond the main part of Half Moon Bay, towards the city end, where one can relax, enjoy the sandstone formations, picnic and swim.  
I have been going there since my teenage years.

Bed was hard like a brick, very uncomfortable, shower had x2 shower heads - seemed to be an old one that was still installed and dripping was very weird, shower also had no hot water in the morning, the hotel is pretty outdated but in a good area, literally a minute to the Queen Victoria markets ...
