It happens only once every three to five years, so when Nature whipped up her very own foam party, it was wasn't too long before people accepted the invite.

Body surfers were amazed to find waves of bubbles churned up for up to five kilometres along the coast of Lorne in Victoria, Australia.

It is a phenomenon that occurs once every few years when heavy rains send organic matter flowing into the ocean, where it is agitated into a froth.

The spectacle was captured earlier this month by Lorne local Alex Cleland and two mates.
'It was insane,' Mr Cleland told the Herald Sun.
