Crashing Coast - Back To Front: The Coastline of the Mornington Peninsula

Location: Mornington Peninsula

Date Released: February 2005

     Looking like a giant sea monster (our own Nessie perhaps), this wave pounds against one of the rock platforms that juts out from the southern coast of the peninsula.  Fishermen run the risk of being swept out to sea in this area as the swells that come up to these rocks can be totally unpredictable.  When looking at this image, it can be difficult to imagine that this splash is actually (without a word of exaggeration), about the height of a 2 storey house.  So one could say that, as it's shape demonstrates, these waves really are the monsters of the sea.
