Sphinx Rock - Back To Front: The Coastline of the Mornington Peninsula

Location: Mornington Peninsula

Date Released: February 2005

     For those who don't enjoy flying, you can feel comforted knowing that you'll never need to go to Egypt if you want to see the pyramids or the sphinx as we have our very own right here in Victoria.  Philip Island has 'Pyramid Rock' and Sorrento has 'Sphinx Rock'.  Standing proud and looking out to sea, this formation is just a short walk from the Sorrento back beach.  The onslaught of waves have carved many interesting rock pools through the solid platform that makes up this area of the coast, each with their own mini eco-system.  At low tide this is a wonderful place to go for a walk along the rocks at sunset.
