I  love waves, I could watch them for a long time. This is a closer look  at Wyalup Rocky Point (South), Bunbury, followed by a quick look at  Bunbury city to place the Point in context.
Wyalup means a ‘place of mourning’ in Noongar (local Aboriginal language). Here we can see 130 million-year-old Basalt Rock - unique to this small area

Thank you. Odd thiing about the music is you can hear the waves breaking, yet that was purely accidental. That sound is in the music track and it's just by change it lined up with the video.
For the Welling Dam video I used my phone to record the sound of the water.

Haha. I know what you mean. I want to go zip-lining in Wales with my eldest, and maybe a parachute jump  or even paragliding, before I get TOO long in the tooth.  
The wife just thinks I'm crazy .

When I was young I was working in the US and decided to build a Benson B6 Autogyro.
When I returned to Belfast I had most of the parts shipped home, but then I got married and there was "no way" I was ever going to be allowed to fly it, so I had to sell the parts.
My Air 2S is the nearest I will ever get

You're welcome.  That's quite the coincidence how it lined up so perfectly.

I had to look that up on Google
Could have been fun.  Didn't they revamp that idea in one of the Bond films with Sean Connery?
Little Nellie they called it.

Yes, indeed.
The Benson B6 was designed for a 2 cylinder, McCulloch air-cooled engine, but could also take a VB Beetle 1600cc engine, as it is flat and air-cooled (but 4-cyclineder).
However, for the Bond movie the engineer had only a 4-cyliner, air-cooled Rolls Royce engine aircraft.
He reckoned it looked much too big so he cut it in half, to give him a 2-cylinder engine, but he discovered that the 2-cylinder chopped engine produced 2/3 the power of the 4-cylinder, rather than just half.

Fascinating stuff.
I don't suppose they invited you to be Sean's stunt double for the film sequence?
