Point Lonsdale, with its crucial lighthouse guarding the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, is a place of enduring maritime history and captivating natural beauty. On this particular morning, arriving before the world fully stirred, I found the air crisp and the atmosphere profoundly peaceful. As the sun began its ascent, it didn't burst forth with fiery drama but instead offered a gentle, pastel-toned embrace to the landscape. The lighthouse, a familiar and comforting presence, stood tall, its white facade catching the soft, emerging light. What truly captivated me were the tidal pools at its base. They acted as perfect mirrors, flawlessly reflecting the lighthouse and the subtle colors of the dawn sky, adding an unexpected layer of depth and tranquility to the scene. This moment of serene reflection, as the light gradually intensified and the world slowly awoke, felt truly special. "Lonsdale's Gentle Awakening" invites you to share in that quiet, magical start to the day, where the steadfastness of the landmark meets the ephemeral beauty of first light on the coast.
