Walk Dromana Pier with return ride in the Eagle cable way to Arthurs Seat – there’s sea level & seascape to appreciate,
Dromana Pier的点评
点评：Review of Dromana Pier, Dromana, Mornington Peninsula.
We had spent the best part of the day in and around Arthurs Seat, taking in the views from the highest point on the Mornington Peninsular. It’s three years since we had last spent time in Dromana and Arthurs Seat – the two neighbouring centres contrasting one-to-the-other. You can enjoy the changing images across Port Philip Bay as you rise further up the slope of the hills in the Eagle cable car from the Base Station outside Dromana. Once on top of the hills, spend time at the observation deck next to the Summit Station looking out across the bay. Take in distant metropolitan Melbourne to the north and, to the south, the narrow 3-4 km entrance/exit to the bay known locally as ‘The Rip’.
Check out the review from our earlier visit July21. It covered the historical background to the bay/Dromana and the construction of the pier that followed European settlement, the exploitation of the natural resources – timber, gravel, sand, etc. – and issues of transport that were required. Shipping dominated during the 19th C. but, thereafter, rapidly gave way to rail and then road transport.
Urban settlement, increased wealth and the rise of the middle classes provided the basis for changes in lifestyle that began around the time of the period that introduced the term: ‘Marvellous Melbourne’. Therein was the novelty of weekends free from work, extra social holidays and the spectacular practice of sea-bathing. There was competition between the small communities around the bay to attract the pleasure boats that carried holidaymakers from Melbourne.
At 200 m the pier is half the length of the original that once serviced both freight and tourists alike – providing sufficient draught to enable the paddle steamers of those days to take account of the tides and to berth with confidence. Walk the narrow pier deck with the single handrail to the one side – the other remains open to the sea.
The existing pier would no longer accommodate those 19th C. paddle steamers. The depth of the water along the pier changed little during our walk – 1-2 m or thereabouts and just sufficient to enable the two separate groups – adolescent girls and boys, respectively, to enjoy the excitement of jumping into the water from the deck. Needless to say – there’s a sign prohibition jumping/diving. Issues of safety, of course, crop up if there’s an injury. We watched one boy fall off when balancing on one corner of the handrail before jumping. His foot slipped and his head missed the horizonal steel bar by millimetres!
Stand at the far end of Dromana Pier and take in the bathing/beach huts spaced along the beach south of the pier – a period architectural feature from >120 years ago; still in use, still appreciated. There is a popular pathway north-south above the beach and, just south of the pier, the modern-looking Dromana Bay Life Saving Club was set back in the coastal trees. There appeared to be no beach huts north of the pier – behind Dromana Beach heading into Safety Beach.
The pier provides that unique close-up view of the hills that dominate Dromana township – the slope of the land up to Arthurs Seat 300 m above the bay wherein housing has replaced much of the original bush-covered country. This is the highest point on the Mornington Peninsular and around the entire bay. The two communities complement one to the other and continue to provide the basis of a popular local tourist industry – particularly if you’ve a weekend or couple of days in-hand.
Besides the short walking trails around the observation post that provide those views across the bay – and where you can catch up with the local wildlife – there’s an adventure garden within easy walking distance and, about a kilometre further away, a heritage car museum. Too far to walk on foot? Then take your car up the hill and let the family take the Eagle cable car – you can catch up with them in the café at the Summit Station.

翻译：德罗马纳码头 (Dromana Pier)、德罗马纳 (Dromana)、莫宁顿半岛 (Mornington Peninsula) 的点评。
我们在亚瑟王座 (Arthurs Seat) 及其周边度过了一天中最美好的时光，从莫宁顿半岛的最高点欣赏美景。距离我们上次在德罗马纳和亚瑟王座度过时光已经三年了——这两个相邻的中心形成鲜明对比。当您从德罗马纳外的基站乘坐鹰缆车沿着山坡向上攀登时，您可以欣赏到菲利普港湾 (Port Philip Bay) 不断变化的景色。登上山顶后，您可以在山顶站旁边的观景台眺望海湾。向北望去，远处是墨尔本大都市，向南望去，是通往海湾的狭窄入口/出口，长 3-4 公里，当地人称之为“The Rip”。
查看我们 7 月 21 日早些时候的访问评论。它涵盖了海湾/德罗马纳的历史背景和欧洲人定居后码头的建设、对木材、砾石、沙子等自然资源的开发以及所需的运输问题。航运在 19 世纪占主导地位，但此后迅速让位于铁路和公路运输。
城市定居、财富增加和中产阶级的崛起为生活方式的改变奠定了基础，这种改变始于“奇妙的墨尔本”一词出现的时候。其中有周末不用上班的新奇事物、额外的社交假期和壮观的海水浴习俗。海湾周围的小社区之间展开了竞争，以吸引从墨尔本运送度假者的游船。
码头长 200 米，是原来码头长度的一半，曾经为货运和游客提供服务——提供足够的吃水，使当时的明轮船能够考虑潮汐并放心停泊。沿着狭窄的码头甲板行走，一侧只有扶手，另一侧仍向大海开放。
现有的码头不再能容纳 19 世纪的明轮船。在我们行走期间，码头沿线的水深变化不大——大约 1-2 米，刚好足以让两个不同的群体——青春期女孩和男孩——享受从甲板跳入水中的刺激。不用说——有禁止跳跃/跳水的标志。当然，如果有人受伤，安全问题就会出现。我们看到一个男孩在跳下之前在扶手的一角保持平衡时摔倒了。他的脚滑了一下，头离水平钢筋只有几毫米！
站在德罗马纳码头的远端，欣赏码头南边海滩上分散的沐浴/海滩小屋——这是 120 多年前的时代建筑特色；仍在使用，仍然受到赞赏。海滩上方有一条南北向的热门小径，码头南边，外观现代的德罗马纳湾救生俱乐部坐落在海岸树林中。码头北边似乎没有海滩小屋——位于德罗马纳海滩后面，通往安全海滩。
码头提供了独特的近距离景观，可以俯瞰德罗马纳镇的主要山丘——亚瑟王座山的斜坡高出海湾 300 米，那里的房屋取代了大部分原始灌木丛覆盖的乡村。这是莫宁顿半岛和整个海湾的最高点。这两个社区相得益彰，继续为当地受欢迎的旅游业提供基础——特别是如果你有周末或几天的时间。
除了观察站周围的短途步行道可以欣赏海湾对面的景色——在那里你可以追赶当地的野生动物——还有一个冒险花园，步行即可轻松抵达，大约一公里外有一个传统汽车博物馆。步行太远了？然后开车上山，让家人乘坐 Eagle 缆车——您可以在山顶站的咖啡馆与他们汇合。
