Spent a week at Bluey's Beach, a 3 hour drive North of Sydney. Stayed at a friend's house for a few days, and was lovely swimming and doing a bunch of nothing 5 days straight. Hammocks always were my favorite. The beach was incredible, and the scenery gorgeous! Apparently great white sharks are a common sight (but don't worry, they are mostly seen at dawn or dusk...), so needless to say that scared the eff out of me. Luckily there were no sightings. The highlights of the oceanic world was getting hit in the head by a jumping fish, and avoiding bluebottles which apparently sting gnarly status.
I'd say another highlight was playing King's Cup to start off a nite, which ended in "Chin's on the table for all male folk." That was a good rule.
Besides that, got to spend time in our buddy's newly acquired bus, which they have been driving around coastal Australia in search of amazing surf. The last day of our mini-vacay was spent in actual Sydney, where we spent at Bondi for a coupla hours, then headed to see a friend finish off the nite DJing. Was by far best Syd trip to date!!
