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.

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.

Look out for that board, quite a big swell today at Bells Beach on the Surf Coast.

The water and even the air were pretty cold and he wore nothing but bathers, flippers and a hat to protect himself from the temperatures, not to mention you never know what's lurking in the waters beneath .....

The week 5/52 theme for Definitely Dreaming is "Cold". I'd been struggling with an idea for a while, given we've had such a string of hot weather.

 

I called in to Bells Beach yesterday on the way back from a trip to Geelong and took some surfing photos at the Winki Pop break. I figured the water must still be quite cold with all the surfers in their wetsuits.

 

If a surfer leaves the water while I'm shooting I like to give them my business card if I think I've got some shots of them, and say if you email me I'll send you a couple. This young man was one of them yesterday, he seemed to like the three photos of him I emailed him.

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.

Surfer outrunning a wall of white water at Bells Beach, Surf Coast.

Es una de las playas más famosas de Australia, en ella se realiza una de las pruebas del campeonato del mundo de surf. Además tiene un mirador desde el que se puede disfrutar de una bonita vista de los acantilados.

My wife took me on a driving holiday for my birthday primarily to take photos of this wonderful country of Australia. Although it was a fantastic holiday, it is nice to be back home after over a week on the road with 3 young kids, in & out of hotels, covering 3,500 km's & 1,000+ photos (to play with over the coming months...)

 

Day 4 - next stop was the famous Bells Beach. If you are a surfer this is apparently one of the beaches you must visit. Also made famous from the Point Break movie and an absolutely shocking attempt at an Australian accent. The day was heavily overcast and so the ocean was very gloomly looking, so I choose to continue the black sand running into a now B&W ocean + sky. Hope it worked?
