Victorian photographer, Ben Differding, has just started shift work and last week he used the work hours to his advantage. While everyone was driving to work, grim-faced preparing for a day at the office Ben was heading the other direction for a peak hour that lasted all day.

Vicco's 50-Year Storm

Ben Differding
Mon 11 July 12:00am
The swell that hit the Victorian coast on the weekend peaked at 25 foot+ west of Cape Otway and 15 foot+ on the exposed coasts of the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island. It was a rare set of circumstances and it had swell forecasters marvelling at the result. Yet as impressive as the weekend waves were they were still fell short in size and shape of the Easter swell of '81, and it makes me wonder exactly how big the Southern Ocean storm was that created that incredible swell and when, if ever, it will happen again.

Status Update: On The Road

Fair to say it wasn't your typical package holiday. He's back home now yet the all-hour spontaneous updates have barely slowed: last-minute dashes to Moonlight Head, overnighters upcountry, or in this instance, a pre-dawn 200 kilometre hit out with his running mate, Todd Rosewall.
