I took the train about 60 kilometers south to Geelong Grammar School and took pictures of their spectacular campus which looks out to the bay at the mouth of the river. Very windy and overcast and extremely quiet as the school had just gone on vacation. Gothic revival cloisters form the center of the school, pictured last, but the most interesting buildings to me were their modern "well-being center," a kind of combination gym, fitness, counseling, and health center with a tension roof supported by exterior cables and movable exterior louvers. I also liked a small grandstand on the edge of the rugby field with glass sides to block the strong wind. The first picture shows the landscape on the train ride down.
