INTRODUCTION
This Website is authored by Bob Padula, OAM, of Mont Albert, Victoria, Australia.

It is a Pictorial History Research Project describing in words and pictures the history, heritage and evolution of the Balnarring Coast, extending from Somers to Point Leo and nearby areas, centred on Balnarring Township, 80 km south of Melbourne, located on Westernport Bay.

The Project includes many public-domain out-of-copyright images and photographs, dating back to the 1890s, supplemented with recent photos and videos taken by the author.

The textual content and articles describe the events and activities depicted in the photographs.

The Balnarring Coast is a wonderful place at all times of the year, If you happen to visit or reside in Melbourne, and haven't been to the region recently, then why not go down there - it's only 90 minutes drive from the CBD!
 
If this Website has encouraged you to visit, or revisit the region, then all of the work done in creating it will have been truly rewarded!
 
Please let the author know what you think about this site - there is a neat little Guest Book elsewhere on this page for your comments and reactions, or you could Email the author direct, using the link at the footer which appears at the bottom of each page.
 
Bob Padula,
