OCEAN AT PHILLIP ISLAND

Phillip Island is an Australian island about 140 km south-southeast of Melbourne, Victoria. Named after Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, 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. The southern coast of the island lies exposed to the ocean of Bass Strait and can experience some wild weather, which doesn't seem to deter the avid surfers.

    We holidayed there for years. A very primitive holiday house but spectacular beaches and coffee shops.

    Definitely crazy surfing that area! But that, I believe, is the challenge.

    Lovely images although I would think surfing there could be a bit risky!
