A Fathers' Day indulgence where I was able to choose our exploration destination and time spent soaking it all up on a beautiful day. This was taken using the telephoto zoom function as I was shooting the exposure and I really liked how it came out.

The Grey Shrike-thrush is one of my favourite birds. They are not the most colourful of birds, but they seem to be such delightful little characters and have such an uplifting song. I could sit and listen to them for hours.
Whenever I see one I am always reminded of one of my favourite Michael Leunig cartoons, that describes the Grey Shrike-thrush as the Life Coach, and it is so true. There is so much bad stuff going down in our world at the moment, that sometimes it seems almost unbearable, but some time spent in nature, and perhaps a little bit of Grey Shrike-thrush song can lift you out of the doldrums, even if it only temporary.
The Leunig cartoon can be found here -
If you’d like to hear some of their song, listen here .
This Grey Shrike-thrush was photographed at Bells Beach on the Surf Coast.

This is a pretty cool beach to get down and touch, its a surfers paradise.....and lots of folks just come here to watch them. There is a staircase that gives you an aerobic workout, but its a must.
This was the beach that one of the last scenes in the first Point Break movie was filmed at.

Bells Beach.
As incoming waves wrap around the point coupled with the pushing up from the flat rock bottom bed the incoming waves create a wall of water which pushes through to the beach break at the shore.
These natural factors make Bells Beach the iconic surfing location.
What makes Bells Beach just so special is the natural formation of the wave as it wraps itself around the point, pushing up from the flat rock bed bottom, and spilling its power in a wall of water all the way through to the beach break at the shore.
Bells Beach takes its name from the Bell family who settled in the district in the 1840’s and in doing so left their name indelibly marked on the beach.
It was a small but dedicated members of the Torquay Surf Living Club who ventured along the dirt track in 1957 that lead to Bells Beach.
Once at their final destination they then had to carry their boards and other gear through the rugged terrain before they eventually reached the beach and in doing so they established a surfing precedence which continues today.
Every Easter the world’s best surfers converge on Bell Beach to participate in the Rip Curl Pro Surfing Competition who vie to win the prestigious trophy which is award to the best surfer who can control the best waves that the Southern Ocean can throw.

Taken during my five days spent in Victoria a couple of weeks or so ago. This is Bell's Beach, a well known surfing spot made famous by starring in the 1991 film Point Break starring Patrick Swayze and Keano Reeves.
I spent a glorious hour here watching the numerous surfers of all ages, walk past me down the wooden steps and onto the beach. Each person had their own form of preparation. Some took no more than five seconds to get into the water while the older guys took a little longer, often standing in the water to assess the power of the waves as well as their regularity.
I found this viewpoint fascinating, looking down on them gave the whole scene more gravitas and this photo in particular demonstrates the power of the water as it rushes towards the standing surfer. I love how the water trails around his feet as it rushes past him to meet the incoming waves, It is a simple shot but to me a stunning capture of life as a typical Australian who lives by the ocean.
