Oct 30, A day at Bondi Beach.

There was a $40.00 hop-on-hop-off bus to Bondi beach but Susan and I actually managed to get there on the city bus route.

The weather shifted from what it has been here in Sydney and it was a marvelous beach day. Many people turned out for the sun and also for an art display called Sculptures by the Sea.

The sculptures were displayed all along this rocky shore-line which would be a wonderful place to walk even without the art show.

I will show only a few of the many sculptures.


Here is a view of the path.



Who is this coming out of the thicket?


Table and chair set made of sand and grass.


Wrought iron dogs guarding the cliff.



Interesting!



Man and woman.


I liked this person wearing a rubber suit and an inner tube equipped with a propeller heading down to the water. It is one of the sculptures.


Looking back on where we have come from.



This is the second beach and park along the way called Tamarama Park.


This is the third beach called Bronte Beach. They are all great beaches with surf and the sand is sheltered by the cliffs.

Back to the hostel again we return to our sleeping car. It is a train car with bunk beds but we are in the Central Railway YHA and these cars are right alongside of working rail tracks.

I have a room upstairs tomorrow which will be quieter. This is the third time we have stayed at this hostel and we quite like it. There is another on which is also close called the Central YHA that seems like it would be good also. It was great to be near all the train and bus connections and 10 minuets from the airport by train.
