Went for a walk down at Point Nepean and checked out some of the old structures. Fascinating stuff. So bloody thankful to live here! Now time for some drinks, music and chilling out!

That link literally says people who think the wwi shot was fired from queenscliff are wrong

Yeah but we called it. Point Nepean missed though not our fault.

Yeah the command and barracks were (and still are) in Queenscliff, who the fuck would want to live on point nepean. There's a reason they put the quarantine station out there.

From this side (bellarine) we call that "the dark side".

I will wave at you from across the bay :)
