Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia

While wandering around Apollo Bay’s foreshore, we stumbled upon a cluster of curious wooden sculptures rising from the ground like weathered totems. From a distance, they looked like nothing more than driftwood planted in the grass - but up close, each piece revealed intricate carvings of fish, whales, and other marine shapes, as if the ocean’s spirit had been captured in timber. The salty breeze, the sound of waves in the background, and the easy laughter we shared made the moment feel wonderfully unplanned - a small, quirky treasure in the heart of this seaside town.
