Eastern Beach, Geelong

Christmas is only faint memory, the schools have all restarted, the international regatta is finished, the big cycle race has been won, and slowly, the summer season in this holiday town eases to an end.
As a last gasp, an Iron Man competition will strut its stuff this weekend.
This scene looks deserted in that gentle time just after sunset, but there were people to be found when you ventured into it.
