Quick piccy from the point lonsdale lighthouse looking west over the back beach towards ocean grove:

it's actually rated equal most hazardous beach in Vic. If you jumped in on a day like today and swam a few metres out you'd be lucky to make it back in.

Yeah. I used to go body boarding there by myself 20 years ago. And down at 13th too. I have realised that this was actually a very stupid thing to do. Especially 13th actually...have you seen the rock shelf there at low tide? I had no idea that existed. Very stupid as I said.

Lovely pic by the way. I love the Vic coast in winter.
