On a windy, overcast, but still warm day. Kite-surfing at Dee Why Beach.
We stood and watched this for ages – looked difficult, but lots of fun!
Maybe there’s something special about these chairs at the South Curl Curl kiosk which is worth a bird’s eye view?
Wednesday was overcast and a bit windy, but the sea was benign.

Hawaiian surfer, Duke Kahanamoku is credited with popularising surfboard riding in Australia when he demonstrated his skills at Freshwater Beach in December 1914.
The statue at Freshwater was unveiled by his widow Mrs Duke Paoa Kahanamoku (Nadine) on Australia Day, Wednesday January 26, 1994.
Tuesday was so hot – it reached a maximum of 43 degrees – that in the afternoon we retreated to the airconditioned cinema at Collaroy.
It’s a lovely example of 1930s art deco ‘ocean liner’ style.
The Conservatorium of Music, in Sydney’s Botanic gardens, was originally the stables of Government House. I took this view across the gardens and conservatorium, looking towards Farm Cove, the indented waterway on a recent visit to the 8th floor office of the Royal Thai Consulate in Macquarie St. Farm Cove was the site of the first farm established by the First Fleet arrivals in 1788.
