Despite a very wet and weather affected Friday, the weekend at the Grampians proved to be a great weekend. The new WhatsApp group created specifically for the weekend, offered lots of advice, support, info about wet roads, places to eat, places to go and shoot, and photo sharing. It proved to be an affective way to communicate to the whole group. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Our third outing for the year was to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. It had been postponed from its original date due to the weather, but we had a beautiful day. Eleven members including one spouse enjoyed beautiful sunshine, meeting at the Queenscliff South Pier where we explored the area including the pier sheds. The view from there over to the Fort , the parks and across to the Queenscliff Harbour was great.
Our first Club weekend away saw us head down to Port Campbell. It was attended by 20 Members and family and it seemed to be enjoyed by all.
Our second outing of the year saw 12 Members go to Newport Lakes. It was very cloudy which made it challenging but I think we all came away with some good shots.
Eleven members set out for the Blue Lotus Gardens near Yarra Junction on Sunday the 2nd March on a cool and overcast morning. A coffee together at the cafe overlooking some of the ponds was had before setting out around the gardens.
Six members ventured to Geelong Racecourse on Saturday 8 February for the Geelong Rodeo.
The weather was coolish and plenty of cloud cover, which was good for nice diffused light for photography.
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.
