It’s beach time in Sydney!

by Gregory Brine

Yes folks, it’s that time of year here where the temperature’s have risen, the lifeguards have appeared on the beach and the sharks are circling the bays! It’s beach time! Now, not wishing to make anyone at home too envious, but we took a 15min bus ride from our house to Bronte beach (it’s much nicer than Bondi as it’s not as crowded). 15 mins! It’s nothing, and the beach there is absolutely perfect. Not to large, and 2 to 3 metre waves that makes swimming great fun!

Well, that is fun until 3 large waves hit you and you suddenly find yourself 10metres off the beach and going further as happened to me a few weeks ago. The currents are viscious in places, and listening to the lifeguard, he was advising people not to swim off certain parts for that reason.

The only thing you need to look out for - other than sharks (more on that in a second) - is those pesky boogey boarders. They’re dangerous! They don’t seem that bothered by swimmers, and my friend Klass got hit by one of them. And they really move! I think they may be quicker than the surfers, and definately a lot more manoeuverable. Looks like fun, and Dan, I think we should have got the flippers last time we had a board! I’m going to have to give it a try soon.

But it flt good to be soaking up the rays and splashing around in the waves. The view was great - read into that what you will ;-) The temperature prefect - high 20s. It was great. So, guess where most of my hungover saturdays are going to be spent now. Anyone tempted to move out here now?
