Sydney Beaches

Sydneysiders love to go to the beach and to surf. I have broken out my shots relating to beaches here. The only beach we got to in good weather was the famous Bondi beach, which is right in the city, you just take a train and bus to it.

We also went to Manly beach, named because the natives were indeed manly. The names of everything there make you swear it's been taken over by the gay community.
