Austinmer Pool
A lot of Australian east coast beaches that have rocky headlands have had pools cut out of them so as to provide safer places to swim. Such is the one shown here at Austinmer. Flushed out at each high tide by the adjacent Pacific Ocean, they're still are home to fish and other sea creatures, but are free from sharks (well usually!).
I took this image the day before the schools broke up for the annual summer break, so each day now the pool will be alive with kids.
Note here that mum has covered up her little 'Bob the Builder' to protect his skin, but she's a candidate for sunburn and maybe later; skin cancer. Australia is the skin cancer capital of the World, a title we need to lose fast.
