After a few days of wild, wet and windy weather, I decided to head down to the beach yesterday and check out the conditions there. The surf was rolling onto the sand and there were the usual diehards out catching the waves but most people decided to obey the directions of the lifesavers and they stayed out of the water.
Because of the dark skies, patches of sunlight glittering on the water and windy conditions, a lot of the photos I took look almost monotone in colour. With some of them I was able to brighten them a little and add a touch of colour but on the whole they reflected the grey of the skies.
Cronulla Beach - usually fairly safe for the family.
Bate Bay looking towards the oil refinery on the Kurnell Peninsula - Botany Bay is on the other side of the Peninsula.....and yes, that is a surfer mid left.
The rock swimming pools between Cronulla and North Cronulla beaches. It would have been very dangerous to swim in those pools yesterday.
A couple walking their dog along the beach. Last week at this time, the temperature was around 26/27 degrees celsius but yesterday it took it all its time to reach 16C so jackets and long pants were the order of the day.
Looking across to the oil refinery again, the surf was increasing in size by the minute.

Fab photos there and great to see the ones of our visit to you last year, fending off the cockatoos! I well remember the view over Botany Bay and the oil refinery - the sea was rather calmer when we saw it!
