Tamarama Beach - Sydney
Tamarama is a very popular beach 7km (4mi) South of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia. It is a small sandy beach surrounded by rocky cliffs common to the Sydney coastline. Behind the beach is a nice grassy park, along which is a concrete path, part of the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk.
Tamarama is an ocean surf beach, the middle of which faces South-East. Access to the beach is by car, bus or walking from Bronte or Bondi.
Byron Bay Sunset 69/365
Whatago’s Beach, Byron Bay After surfing Coffs Harbour we had breakfast at the surf club, watching a pod of dolphins swim up the shore… We visited an Autobarn and replaced the radio fuse, but it blew again straight away.. ended up plugging my iphone into a set of computer speakers to keep us going… From Coffs we drove North, stopping at the Yamba Breakwall. The surf was much larger here, but not as clean. After an hour or so we got tired of it and continued North, arriving at Byron Bay a couple of hours before sunset. We found a good place to stay right on the beach, then checked out the Pass which was small and crowded. Whatago’s was better, but only just. We caught some good, small waves before dinner and beer at the Byron Bay Hotel. After I got out of the surf I made one of the guys, Boe stay in for a bit so I could get some photos.. you can see him in the above shot in the distance… I will try some close up shots tomorrow…
Morning Surf 68/365
Park Beach, Coffs Harbour From Foster we drove North to Old Bar,, one of the beaches we have wanted to check out for a while but never got around to it… in this case we shouldn’t have bothered. We initially planned to stay in Port Macquarie, but then thought we would be better off getting some distance North,, so drove up to Coffs Harbour. We had a quick surf at sunset then went out for steaks and beers at the bowls club… were we were treated to a tropical lightning storm. The Next morning we got up at sunrise and surfed the main city beach at Coffs.. Park Beach,, which had surprisingly good clean 3ft waves. My friend Boe has talked me into getting a new board after seeing the work I have to put in to catch some of the smaller waves… he has a newer design that gets onto the smaller waves much easier. We plan to go to Byron next,,, I will shop around there,,,,
You Know You Love Me 66/365
Nobbys Beach, Newcastle Haha.. Im stuck in a hotel room in Newcastle by myself, watching a show I wouldn’t normally that Im quickly getting addicted too… if you know which one, then you are probably addicted too.. so sad… Arrived in Newcastle around 5 and checked into the Ibis.. after driving around would have preferred the Crowne.. it has a better position on the Harbour… Around sunset I walked down to the Harbour and did some fishing with my new Shimano Telescopic rod.. until I got chased off by the fishing inspector.. I need to get my license renewed!! From the Harbour I walked down to Nobbys, where I took this picture… I will be back here tomorrow morning after picking up the guys from the airport, as the surf is pretty good here, at least 3-4 ft.
Sunset at Newport Beach, LA
Took this pic around May 2005 during a trip to the US. We spent the day at Disneyland before driving down to Newport for dinner on the restaurant at the end of the Pier…
Piha Beach Sunset
Piha Beach, New Zealand March 2007 Piha is my favourite beach in New Zealand. I’ve been over there for work half a dozen times and try to visit here whenever I can. It’s a Black Sand beach on the western coast on NZ, forty five minutes drive from Auckland. It can have good surf, but can also be a bit treacherous, especially if there is a rip running….
Weekend Wars 55/365
See complete 365 collection here
Cumberland River, Great Ocean Road Flew from Sydney to Avalon Airport near Melbourne, at the start of the Great Ocean Road. The state was in the middle of a record heat wave, 5 days over 40.. when I arrived in Avalon it was 44 degrees Celsius! (that 110 Fahrenheit!)… at least packing was easy, shorts, t-shirts and thongs only, no long pants or jackets… I arrived around 3pm, got picked up by my friend Boe and family, then we drove down to Cumberland River, where we camped with another family for the weekend. After we set up we went for a surf at the above beach, then drove to Lorne Hotel for dinner… only to find out the whole town was blacked out due to the Heatwave….
