Volcanic Rock Platform: Phillip Island . . .
This image is included in a gallery "LA MER" curated by Jacqueline Reynier (Mamie Sur).
This was taken on an overcast summer morning, at the furthest left of the Nobbies boardwalk. The Nobbies is at the western tip of Phillip Island. The wave actions on the rocks are incessant and simply spectacular to look at.
The dark rock platform are basalt, formed when nearby volcanoes cooled about 50 million years ago. The Pyramid Rock is at the centre in the distant horizon, whereas the Blowhole is to right, outside of this frame.
Phillip Island, also known as Corriong or Millowl in the Boonwurrung language, is an Australian island about 140 km south-southeast of Melbourne, Victoria. The island is named after Governor Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, by explorer and seaman George Bass, who sailed in an open whale boat, arriving from Sydney on 5 January 1798.
