I was checking out the west coast of Africa a few months ago and theres some unreal looking spots in the middle of nowhere.But the locals would probably try to cook you and eat you.

1 - Bells
2 - i wish i knew, nice lookin wineries or orchids, Looks south west but Matt is a vic so say its over that way somewhere.
3 - Going on the principle of number 2, i say this place is around Phillip Island somewhere.

You would need to crop much more for that not to be a dead giveaway.

Matt, I don't know what's gotten into you, but I reckon you should put the bottle down and stop before someone loses an eye, mate.

Yep, superbank. The cropped bit had lots of lots of clues.

Someone working for Google maps must have gone to a lot of trouble to find a day that had surf as bad as that photo. Sure they need stable atmospheric conditions - but how bad is that day!



It makes me wonder about other aerial shots.
