My watercolour version of Torquay, Victoria, Australia.
A nice clean holiday resort but was the most expensive for overnight stays during our tour. A very moderate B&B rates asked more than the Holiday Inn at Sydney airport.

Good work jow104 ....

Torquay is very over rated ..... if you want a secluded private beach .... at reasonable prices ..... try Avalon Beach

If you haven't been there you wouldn't get the joke :eek:

That's your best wc so far. Well done.

Seems like you finally got a cloud free day that day.

Seriously, I like it

I can only reply nonplussed and that I am an innocent.:confused:

Mate, it is as I remember it from 29 years ago, except that it was raining & grey & over cast every time I ever went there.

(I think the boat on the left has moved a bit.

)

Did you go for a swim?

I did; frooze my flam'n earbones in the middle of summer.

I'll explain Sir Stinky's joke for you... (even though I haven't been to Avalon Beach)
There is an Airport at Avalon... 'nuff said?

Thanks craig for the encouragement. I did have a lot of kickbacks doing this one the paint crept under the masking fluid so I had to resort to some sgraffito.

Only had one dip that visit on a beach at Port Macquarie and then the weather changed and we came out of the water has a storm approached.

It's 1.50pm here in Torquay, Devon. U.K. and it is SNOWING, bet things are different in Victoria.

35 today, don't know about Torquay though, like you said the prices are pretty hot so it would probably never snow there.
I used to go through there once a month and thought it was overpriced, just trying to compete with Lorne I suppose, who were proposing a visitor tax

If you don't drive a BMW or Porsche you are not welcome.
The local bakery were charging $6.00 for a damned pastie.

Ahh the planes are fine .... its the Shell oil refinery that you need to worry about ..... oh and the salt works

They must have gone, we never saw either, or pehaps the road directions have been put up by the local ourist board to avoid the eyesore.
