Bombora is an indigenous Australian term for an area of large sea waves breaking over a shallow area such as a submerged rock shelf, reef, or sand bank that is located some distance from the shoreline and beach surf break. In slang it is also called a bommie.〔(Collins Dictionary ). Example, "''Manly itself has () the offshore Queenscliff “Bommie” (bombora), joy for big wave riders.''", (Australia's 8 greatest surf spots ), Australian Geographic.〕 As the wave passes over the shallow area its shape is raised and steepened, creating a localised wave formation. The size and shape of bombora waves makes them attractive to surfers willing to take the risk of riding what is generally considered a hazardous pursuit. These formations can pose a significant danger even in good weather as a bombora may not be identifiable because it may not always have breaking waves.〔 〕 The term Bombora was given wide circulation by the airing on ABC TV in 2009 of a documentary titled (Bombora - The Story of Australian Surfing ), which received a nomination for the 2010 Logie Awards in Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/showcases/bombora/default.asp )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://abccommercial.com/contentsales/program/bombora-history-australian-surfing )〕 The documentary explored historical dimensions of the relationship between surf culture and Australian cultural identity.〔http://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/showcases/bombora/Bombora%20TNotes.pdf〕〔http://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/showcases/bombora/Bombora_Press_Kit.pdf〕 (Bombora ) was also the title of a popular music instrumental released in 1963 by Australian surf rock band The Atlantics. ==Well known instances== * Cowaramup Bombora ("Cow Bombie") - near Margaret River, WA, location of the 2011 and 2015 Oakley Biggest Wave award-winning rides.〔http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-12/big-wave-competition-winner-jarryd-foster/6089000〕〔http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/Australia_Pacific/Australia/WA/Margaret_River_North/cow_bombie/index.html〕 * Dobroyd Bombora - in Sydney Harbour, NSW. * Jibbon Bombora - at Bundeena in the south of Sydney * Outer Bombora - at Yallingup, WA. * "The Bommie" - on the northern side of The Penguin's Head, Culburra Beach, NSW.
