[above: The world famous surfing beach at Manly, near Sydney. We had taken a ferry from Circular Quay to the town; and enjoyed a couple of hours on the beach (it was too hot to stay longer) and then, after a cooling beer, and a wander around the surfing shops before taking the return ferry].
[above: This is a lovely day, towards the end of the afternoon, at a beach called 'Fingal's Bay'. We were staying near Nelson Bay (not to be confused with Nelson in New Zealand) and we really enjoyed our two days there - it was a smallish, friendly area, and reminded us of our time in Hokitika].
[above: Another great beach near Nelson Bay, this time one called 'One Mile Beach'].
