Mornington Peninsula

Arthurs Seat
Past & present.

The climb to Arthurs Seat was once an outing in its own right. Postcards followed the road around the hairpin bend, then turned to the chairlift, the swimming pool and Mountain Peak Restaurant at the Garden of the Moon. From the summit, the curve of the bay still helps locate the old views looking west over Dromana.

Arthurs Seat, then & now.
