This is where the Anglesea River enters the sea. It's always a bit of a puzzle to me how a river can almost fizzle out just before it enters the ocean. Sometimes there is virtually no water for the last few meters and you can just walk past it along the beach, but at the moment if you are on one side you can't get to the other without getting substantially wet.
Cropped out of a horizontal shot. I did take some vertically, but liked this one better. It's a pity because the resolution isn't as high as if it had been the whole shot.

lovely. the vertical orientation situates this very nicely - I don't feel that I am looking at some standard scene, but something freshly seen. (Sorry for the rhyme).
