There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Just a mere ripple, Alan .................. wouldn't keep the Bondi Icebreakers ( elderly swimming crew ) away.
Am glad you parked your boat, though.

Holy dooley!
Not far from Melbourne is the Great Ocean Road - I was last there about 13 years ago now but the limestone cliffs are eroding and the scenery has changed somewhat... (photos from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve ... ictoria%29):

Apparently the bases of the stacks are eroding at some 2cm a year. It's a pretty dramatic change - but nowhere near as dramatic the overnight changes in Cornwall!!

Re: Little bit choppy
Just one more to finish off. That cliff in the background, is approx 150ft high, and the spray is going over the top.

Re: Little bit choppy
Amazing photos, Alan. I'm in Lulworth Cove for the week - the sea's been a lot calmer as we're in the lee of Portland Bill here, but I've been walking the dog up onto the hills three times a day and we've been clinging on by our fingernails much of the time I love it when nature reminds us who's in charge. NB - a great leader in The Sun today:
I love it when nature reminds us who's in charge. NB - a great leader in The Sun today:Let’s nail a climate change lie trotted out in the House of Commons yesterday and apparently swallowed by David Cameron.
Lib Dem Mp Tim Farron said of the flooding: “The science is clear that the extreme weather is at least in part a destructive and inevitable consequence of climate change.”
He urged the Prime Minister to “support the carbon-reduction action to protect people and property.”
Leave aside how many thousands of years it would take Britons, by becoming greener, to affect the global temperature sufficiently to “protect people and property” – scientists are NOT linking the storms with climate change.
The Met Office says: “There is currently no evidence that links our current storms to climate change.”
It even says there is no evidence the terrible floods were anything but, well, a rainy winter.
Our PM “suspects” the storms are linked to global warming … but he’s not sure and he’s no expert.
Shame he didn’t ask one.
