Coastlines are dynamic environments, constantly

shaped and reshaped by the high energy of

breaking waves, like this force of nature crashing

down onto the shallow seabed at North Avoca

Beach on the New South Wales Central Coast.

Taken from above using a drone, this stunning

image was a finalist in the landscape category

of the 2019 Australian Geographic Nature

Photographer of the Year competition. It can be

seen, along with all the other best images from

this year’s competition, at an exhibition at

the South Australian Museum, Adelaide,

until 10 November and at the Powerhouse

Museum, Sydney, until 20 October.
