heart check...

new sign that has just appeared on the Dromana foreshore...
The area is a popular walking, running and biking trail...
The equipment around the sign is still being installed...
The rough winter weather has not been very co-operative...
NOTE: new word = exersite???


the key
to living and breathing is
the heart



Above is the only equipment installed...partially...so far...
