Park and Pier, Sorrento

Parking next to the Sorrento Pier, we headed up the pathway to the old Steam Tram platform, used to take passengers from the pier to the back beach in the early 1900's. I read somewhere that there was a plan to get the old tram up and running again. Fingers crossed!

The views from the lookout are spectacular. You can watch the Queenscliff Ferry heading across the bay and view the stunning old sandstone buildings of Sorrento.

Gazebos, tables and barbecue for the foodies. Wildflowers, a giant Moreton Bay Fig (I think) and historic pine trees for the flora fans.
