The Coast And Its Wonder Path

Love to ride? Then jump on your bike one fine day, along the path between Newport and Altona and you will find this sculpture. Sculpture often offers itself up for interpretation and its here I see cowboys playing in the wind. In the background those tiny white dots are sails; this is the south west coast of Melbourne. The pathway crosses several types of terrain, so at one point you are next to a wild sea being covered in sea spray, looking out to container ships and feeling the power of the wind, a while later you're riding over wooden bridges past swans and pelicans nursing their young, and then later still you find yourself in the middle of a thistle field, big purple heads waving all around. Done solo, it fills your mind with peace, your lungs with clean air and your mind with wonder. Well that's my experience anyhow, I hope you get to experience it one day and find the same joy.
