Phillip Island Woolamai Surf Beach : Summer morning . . .

This was taken from Woolamai Surf Beach, Phillip Island, on the way to see The Pinnacles. Looking beyond is Bass Strait. It was a fine summer morning. The waves looked inviting for surfers. The light was soft and warm.

 

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.

 

Phillip Island forms a natural breakwater for the shallow waters of the Western Port. It is 26 km long and 9 km wide, with an area of about 100 km2. It has 97 km of coastline and is part of the Bass Coast Shire.
