The swell was pretty calm....only about 2 metres but it's pretty clear how powerful the ocean can be.....this was created by ocean swell working against granite....not bad! Then we moved along the coast to the 'blow-holes' which is another interesting effort were the ocean has worn holes in the rock under a ledge and the waves trap air which is forced up through the holes sounding much like a gigantic whale blasting air through it's blow-hole....
'eL' is looking over the holes which are just down the rock a little...no direct pictures of the holes because they often shoot out spray and occasionally rocks under the pressure of the air....not safe to stand over the top.
The ocean is the Great Southern Ocean....next stop Antarctica!
And finally Goode's Beach....we're thinking that this would be a nice spot to build a house to retire to......and there is land available.
What a horrible lifestyle......but I guess someone has to suffer.....:-)

Great pics!
Enjoy it. You've earned it.
Lovely!!!Yes I am still around. You wouldn't recognise me now though, I either look stressed or tired, I have more grey hair, (thank goodness for dye!), skinnier and I'm so attached to my laptop it will have to be surgically removed.
This is what you have to look forward to if you visit....oh and of course great food and wine.....and beer!
