Strange Weather

The weather in Victoria has been very strange lately, with the typical pattern of lovely weather during the week and then cold and rainy on the weekends.  I was hoping for a few nice days over the Easter long weekend, as we were going to Swan Bay.  The lead up to Easter was magnificent.....around 27 degrees everyday.  Good Friday was a glorious 30 degrees, so off we headed bright and early in the morning.  We arrived around 11.00 and just lazed about and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.  We decided we would go to the Queenscliff marina for fish and chips for dinner.  On the way we stopped off at Point Lonsdale beach as it was such a lovely afternoon / early evening.

It was 29 degrees when we were driving to the Marina.  We sat outside and ate beautiful fresh Calamari and fish and chips whilst taking in the views of the beautiful boats.  It was very busy with people everywhere enjoying the great weather.  A cool change had been forecast for the evening.  The wind picked up and I looked behind me and saw BIG grey clouds heading our way.  I had never seen clouds move so fast.  We decided to leave the rest of our dinner and run to the car.  We only just made it back to the car before the heavens opened.

The temperature dropped from 29 degrees to 17 degrees in a matter of minutes.  Very typical for Melbourne.  So back to the cabin it was, crank up the heater and snuggle up to watch a DVD.
