On Wednesday, May 15, we celebrated the arrival of public relations Professor Ann Christiano (she delayed her start so she could attend her eldest daughter's first communion) by strolling along what has to be one of the most beautiful city walkways anywhere.
A train and a bus brought us to the Tasman Sea (or what we think of as the Pacific Ocean) at Sydney's eastern shore and Bondi (pronounced "bond-eye") Beach. From there a path climbs the cliff and hugs the water for about 2 miles to Bronte Beach.
The walk offers terrific views from the ocean cliffs before dipping into coves with natural beaches. This is autumn in Sydney, so not all that many people are using the beaches. My guess is that when we head north toward the equator in our final week to Cairns and its near-tropical conditions, we'll see more people in the ocean.
The scenery engages the senses. The underlying rock is largely sandstone, which wind and water erode into intriguing formations and coves that captivate the eye. The sea breeze tickles the nose. And the surf and crashing waves offer a dreamy delight for the ear.
Such a treat!
