Golden Waves at Sunset - Half Moon Bay, Black Rock

            I spent a delightful Saturday sunset with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group at Half Moon Bay in Black Rock where we ate delicious fish and hot chips from the Cerberus Beach House before wandering along the beach to the sandstone pillars for sunset.

Half Moon Bay is a beautiful beach located in the Melbourne suburb of Black Rock, about twenty-two kilometers south-east of Mebourne's centre.  

In the bay the iconic shipwreck of the HMVS Cerberus sits just above the waterline. A naval vessel that predates Australian Federation in 1901, this ship is both living history and testament to Australia's maritime tradition. 
 Since its decommissioning shortly after the Great War, the HMVS Cerberus has served as a breakwater.

In addition to the bay and the HMVS Cerberus, there are also the wonderful sandstone cliffs of Red Bluff.  Viewed at sunset their many colours are on full show and you could be forgiven for thinking momentarily that you were in Utah.
