Bondi - Taramara - Bronte - Clovelly beaches

Saturday, the three of us ventured out together taking a city bus to see the famous Bondi (pronouned bon - die) beach...one of the beaches north of Sydney.  Manly Beach which we had been to earlier in the week is also north of Sydney.

Bondi Beach is another very large expanse of sand and surf.  This beach also offers a large area of grass that slopes down to the sand.

From Bondi we walked the Coastal Walk to Tamara Beach and then to Bronte Beach.

The views are stunning...both of the coast and some of our fellow walkers.

The walk goes up and down hugging the cliff-side but very comfortable and safe.

We stopped at Bronte Beach to rest and have lunch....fish and chips seemed appropriate.

Bronte Beach like many of the beaches has this cool pool which is part of the Life Saving and Swim Clubs at almost every beach.

Chris decided to catch the bus back to the city from here while Marlin and I opted to continue walking the Coastal Walk.  Our goal was Coogee Beach.
The Walk continues along the coast and through this very large and impressive cemetery. There were grave markers of all kinds. The juxtaposition of the cemetery, the ocean and the cliff side was inspiring and moving.

We made it as far as Clovelly Beach before giving out and hopping on a bus back to the city.
