One of the paintings on the concrete wall at Bondi Beach....
And another....
And another....there are many more...
Bondi Beach was not so crowded this morning...Pete and I decided to walk the coastal path from Bondi to Clovelly...one of Sydney's most iconic walks...
The stunning Bondi Icebergs swimming club...one of Australia's most photographed pools....
...it is such an amazing coastline...
Looking back a t Bondi Beach...
Tamarama Beach ...it sits between two prominent headlands on the walk....
Climbing up the path on the other side of Tamarama Beach...On the top of the headland is the Tamara Surf Club clubhouse...
Bronte Beach....
Bronte Pool....
...awesome crystal clear water...
.....absolutely stunning rock.....
The big surprise ...Clovelly Beach...neither Pete nor I have ever been to this beach and it was not at all what we expected to see. It is a unique, calm and family friendly bay nestled between two concrete promenades.... The calm waters are protected by two long rocky ridges, the narrow bay acts like a giant , gentle ocean pool with virtually no crashing waves.Apparently it is a snorkelling haven...it teams with marine life.
There is an also pretty small sandy beach at the end of the bay....and a fabulous cafe where we had a delicious muffin and coffee.
We took a different route home....it took us through the Waverley Cemetery...it is a heritage-listed cemetery on the top of the cliffs at Bronte. It was established in 1877 and is home to the tombs of many prominent Australians. The cemetery is noted for its largely intact Victorian and Edwardian monuments. It is regularly cited as being one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. I was surprised to read online how many famous movies and television series had been filmed in the cemetery.
Back to Bondi.... Pete and I had a swim before heading home to our apartment....
