The Southern Ocean and a water surfer. To his left there were many rocks in the sea.
Griffiths Island where the mutton birds are. The Island lies at the mouth of the Moyne River.
Griffiths now has no permanent inhabitants, but is connected to the
mainland by a causeway and is accessible on foot. It forms part of the
Port Fairy and Belfast Coastline Protection Reserve and, as well as
being a tourist attraction, is an important site in the context of the
history of European settlement of western Victoria.
There are 80 - 90 species of birds on the Island.

Beautiful water pictures, Janice. The surfing might be a bit dangerous with all those rocks.
ReplyDeletesome of those guys love the thrill, not me
DeleteWouldn't get me there Linda with the rocks so near by. There were other surfers standing on those rocks.

DeleteWow amazing just saying
ReplyDeleteIt is good Jo-Anne.

DeleteBeautiful seaside.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice place there
DeleteHave a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra..
DeleteLovely images. It's always nice to see the different views that you show us. It seems that we rarely hear news of Australia and when we do it's generally because of typhoons, wild fires, floods or other disasters. I guess that's the nature of news, huh?
ReplyDeleteYes that is the nature of news. We hear in Australia here similar things from other countries.
