5 members from the Landscape special interest group met on the foreshore at Werribee South on Sunday. After a lot of rain the evening was fine and we got some good photos.

Several members of WCC enjoyed an outing to the Australian Botanical Gardens in Cranbourne. The day threatened to be a dreary one-it was quite cold and wet when we departed, but by the time 10am rolled around, patches of blue sky were starting to emerge.
The second weekend away for the year saw nine members and their families venture down to Inverloch. Although the number of attendees was lower compared to previous years, those who joined had a wonderful time, thanks to mostly good weather, which did not impact the planned events.
Eleven members plus a couple of friends and family left a very sunny Melbourne to head to the You Yangs Regional Park. As we drew closer to our destination, we could see the low cloud hanging over the You Yangs and that’s the way it stayed all morning. We met at the Turntable car park before heading out to explore the area.
The weekend of 10-12 May saw 20 Members and family head to Bright. Although the Club has been to Bright before (not in my time) there is certainly plenty to see and photograph.
On May 4th, members of the Williamstown Camera Club attended the vibrant Trentham Spudfest in Trentham, Victoria. This unique festival celebrates the region's rich potato farming heritage with a plethora of activities, and the photographers were there to capture every memorable moment.
Our second outing for the year saw 12 members and family attend the Melbourne Zoo.
Continuing our journey around the page we started last year, 18 members head out to venture from Seaholme to Altona to capture our backyard.
Our second planned weekend away for 2023 was to Wilson's Promontory, where 18 Members and families endured unfavourable weather conditions. Our vice-president Karen Malbon had scheduled some great events for the weekend but unfortunately some of them either failed or had to be abandoned. This event was planned prior to The Covid-19 Pandemic and the numerous lockdowns but we finally got it on the calendar.
On Tuesday October 10th we left the club rooms behind and ventured into the city.
