This week's theme is sports.
Obviously, surfing is a sport associated with Australia. Since I am from the desert, and afraid of water, I thought I would never take up this sport. However, on a trip to Wave Rock I thought I'd give it a try.
Wave Rock, one of Australia's most famous landforms, is located 350 km from Perth. The shape of the wave is formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge. The wave is about 15 metres high and approximately 110 meters long. The colors of the Wave are caused by the rain washing chemical deposits (carbonates and iron hydroxide) down the face, forming vertical stripes of greys reds and yellows.
When visiting the Eyre Peninsula, I found another shark-less, granite monolith. I think I improved my form while catching this wave.
