Labrador Puppy!!! Coogee to Bondi, Photo Gallery, Whales & Beer. 9kms Hike.

A Coastal Hike. Whales. Photography. A Puppy. And a beer.
This. Sounds. Goooooood. 18 and sunny the forecast!!!

Fuck me this rain! The trails will be absolutely soaked all weekend, so let’s do a classic with whale watching - adding my favourite Sydney photo gallery and a Bondi Beach pub and pup… Read on.

AQUABUMPS PHOTO GALLERY (my fav photo is that solo swimmer in Bondi)
Ever been? It’s a cool story. Eugene Tan is a local in Bondi… hobby photographer that took a pic or two that led to an e-newsletter that grew, grew, and grew. Now internationally renowned, he opened a Bondi Photo Gallery that is verrrrrryyyyy cool.

Let’s hike. Let’s stroll through Aquabumps, then let’s head to Beach Road Hotel in Bondi.

THE PUPPY.
“Do you like dahgs?” (Brad Pitt, “Snatch”). PABLO is my new Labrador pal. At 15weeks old, Pablo a chocolate chunk of chaos (he looooooves new people), and his Lab sisters Tulip and Peppi are loads of fun too. Well, they are right on the way in Tamarama Beach. If anybody fancies a puppy pat, we’ll pick them up for a quick 5minutes to say hello.

THE WHALES & THE HIKE.
Whales (+40,000) are coming south… last Saturday we saw one quite close by Dee Why Beach, then Sunday we saw plenty fully breaching, playing – so close we could see their white bellies. Unfortunately, we passed by a dead whale that washed ashore (story on Sunday). The Hike… you know it. It’s the classic. It’s beautiful. It’s social. It’s safe. It’s for all fitness levels:

Coogee Beach to Gordon’s Bay to Clovelly Beach to Waverly Cemetery to Bronte Beach, Mackenzies Bay, Tamarama Beach, then Bondi Beach. We’ll stretch it to 9.5kms so it’s a good day of exercise.

Post-hike, post-Aquabumps, we’ll head into Beach Road Hotel… big pub with pretty good food. Beer, rest, chat, relax, then retire. The 379 bus stop is directly across the street – 10min to Bondi Junction Station.

A hike. Whales. Ocean photography. A puppy! A beer. Maybe two.
See you for a relaxed Sunday. MJ
