Coolart historic area is located near Somers, a small town approximately 72 km south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, located in the south-eastern corner of the Mornington peninsula. The area includes Coolart historic homestead, nice gardens, and lengthy walks around swamps, inhabited by various birds species.
Last weekend all three of us took a walk there, and it was a great way to spend time! I won’t go into historic details, I just want to show it to you through my lens.
Walking through the wetlands, depending on time of the day and the year you can see many different bird species. Here is what we saw.

We also had nice views of the wetlands and surrounding areas.

The Coolart Mansion looks very interesting. Parks Victoria have done a good job preserving it.

Here are some more interior details. I had a feeling that b&w suits them.
