Beautiful beach. It was Australia's winter time, but there were surfer's everywhere. The architecture in the area is great. It doesn't look like a dumpy little beach town. I almost thought of Croatia looking at the surrounding buildings and hills.

Yes. I have to see where they are. I scanned them, but I have to figure out where they are. How do people post photos here? 1) upload them here, then link them, or 2) link from an outside site, or 3) either?

Thanks. I just determined that the photos are on a CD and not on my hard drive. I'll post them tomorrow.

Then, once we get Bondiguy online, we'll talk about vegemite and Lamingtons.

Bondi's nice, but if I were on a Sydney Beach, I'd rather be on:

Cobbler's
Lady Jane
Obelisk

And Bondi knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about.....if he ever reads this thread.... :2thumbsup:

Gunnison Beach and Orient Beach are other favorites, but they're not in the Sydney area.

Isaac when were u here dude?

Bondi is actually minutes from the CBD of Sydney, and there are not too many beach destinations around the world like that.

It is always thriving with tourists and locals and I will surf there any day of the year as long as the swell is good

Bondi,

I was there in July-August of 2001. I was presenting a paper to an engineering organization that was holding a conference in Melbourne. My wife and I stayed in Sydney for five days first, and then went to Melbourne for five.

I never had an urge to go to Australia. However, after that experience, I would recommend Australia to anybody, especially Americans.

By the way, we hit four beaches in one day. They were - in order - Obelisk, Cobblers, Lady Bay, and Bondi. The only beach we had to wear clothes on was Bondi. You have to take the bad with the good, I guess.

Today, I found my CD of Australia photos, but I think I forgot to put it in my bag on the way back from work. I'll check in a few minutes.

I brought home the CD with Australia video, not the photos. How difficult is it if I do screen caps, to put them up here. Can I post them straight here using the Attachments utility at the bottom of the page?

I've got GREAT stuff. Bondi, the sushi-go-round, flying foxes (the biggest freaking bats you've ever seen), my STUNNING (haha) presentation, and two tasmanian devils fighting at Featherdale Wildlife Refuge.

Experiment. Surfers in the water at Bondi beach. Three of them. Look how close they are together on a breaking wave:

From the preview, I don't think this worked...

Part of the complex of buildings that form a curve around beach. Unlike most beaches I go to (isolated, nude), this one has great shops that you can walk right up to. We took the Bondi Explorer bus right to Bondi.

Bondi houses that ring the whole beach area, in what look almost like terraced hills. Absolutely beautiful. That must be some expensive real estate.
