It's starting to feel like summer!
Sunshine and waves - as locals and visitors flock to the beach.
With restrictions easing, the "ring of steel" disbanded and a stunning 29-degree day, it's not surprising the car parks at Woolamai's famous surf beach was busy this morning.
Locals and visitors took advantage of the waves and made the most of the sunshine, with local surfers reporting the car park at Anzacs was full at 6am.
Melbourne joined regional Victoria at Step Three in the roadmap to reopening at 11.59pm on November 8.
There's been a steady stream of visitors and holiday homeowners arriving since then, eager to get out of the city or to check on their holiday properties.
With Melbourne out of lockdown, local businesses are looking forward to a busy weekend.
