Mornington Peninsula

Tootgarook
Past & present.

In the Rose Series postcard of Tootgarook, a car draws away along the Nepean Highway. Timber poles follow the roadside and a low building stands beyond the verge. The book places this view in the Rosebud chapter, but the postcard names Tootgarook. The 2024 photograph returns to the same stretch of road, where the modern houses now face the traffic.

Tootgarook, then & now.
