The White Horse Cavalry Charge Wellington's
South Coast
A strong offshore wind combined
with huge waves rolling in on Wellington's south coast last
night to form streaming manes behind the giant rollers,
like a regular charge of the white horse cavalry. The
massive waves brought out many sightseers, plus a large
number of seemingly fearless surfers.
