We left Melbourne on April 10th and picked up a rental car to drive to a pet sit in Frankston South (house in red circle). We watched Frankie (dog) and Tinka (cat) while their family went on holiday to Lord Howe Island. 🏝️

Tinka loved the sun and Frankie was more of a loner who enjoyed her crate time. 👋

Our hosts left us a snack basket ....

... and gorgeous lilies! 🌷

There was a stream through the house which ran between two ponds and provided a lovely gurgling sound. 💦

The first 4 days were gray with showers so Tinka and I enjoyed reading and napping. 😽

No matter the weather, the views were expansive. 📸

Steve coaxed Frankie out for some lounge time. 🐶

The sky finally cleared. ☀️

We checked out the beach in the nearby Frankston town beach. 👀

The Australian Sand Sculpture competition was held in Frankston so we took a tour of the contenders (Focus Post coming soon). 📸

The eternal struggle of chip thievery captured in brass. 🍟

Hi Melbourne 👋

Pretty afternoon for a walk on the beach. 🥾

We checked out the McClelland Sculpture Garden and were not disappointed (another Focus Post coming soon). 🤗

I don't think Frankie was ready to be done with the walk, however, Tinka was ready for dinner. 😻

Steve was literally in the dog house ... just doing some rearranging.  🐶

Final sunset was a good one. 🌅

Seville (45 mins north) for another pet sit was next. 🚙
