What a difference a week makes ! These photos were taken at the same beach as those a few days ago although now the surf is a lot calmer. The weather today has been perfect with the temperature around 26/27C and cloudless skies. After hardly anyone on the beach last week today was very different with the complete stretch of the sand from Wanda to Cronulla, a distance of over a mile, littered with the young and not so young soaking up the sunshine now that winter has left us.














Sometimes you are up............

......and sometimes you are down !

There are four surf clubs along this stretch of coast; Cronulla, North Cronulla, Elouera and Wanda. My husband was a member of the Wanda surf club, where these photographs were taken today, and he helped to set up the radio network for the New South Wales Surf movement back in the 1970s. On a number of occasions he acted as a relay for the Police Helicopter, relaying their messages back to their base when they were too far down the coast for their radios to work well. The colours of the Wanda Surf Club are navy blue, army red and air force blue because this club was founded by the returned servicemen following WW2.
