UPi Excursion to Brighton Beach

Dear UP2i students, Well, here is Brighton Beach.....
........ but don't worry! This is Brighton Beach in the UK! Brighton Beach in Melbourne, Australia is MUCH quieter - see info. and pictures below!

As many students have requested an excursion to the beach at the end of our 5 weeks of study, I thought it would be a nice idea to go to a 'less popular' beach (collocation!). While waiting for the very, very slow bus to VU Footscray Campus, I discovered the 216 bus, which goes through Footscray, the City and all the way to Brighton Beach! It takes about one hour and twenty minutes (from Footscray). It is a very quiet beach, but a lovely beach (see the photos below) and I thought that we could either have fish and chips, or a barbecue on the beach? (I will check if there are barbecue facilities nearby). So...watch this space! I will pass on more information when it comes to hand. Meanwhile, lets pray to God, Allah and Buddha for excellent weather next Friday!!

If you decide to get the late bus back to the city/Footscray, you may be able to catch a magnificent sunset from Brighton Beach, like the one in the picture here!

Cheers, Jo
