Sunny Goldie
I spent the weekend chasing the sun up to The Gold Coast. Wow, it feels like summer up there, with temperatures reaching 24-25 in the day and everyone parading around in bathers. There wasn’t much swell on Saturday, so it was a blue lagoon. Sunday, a fresh south swell started to wrap into the points […]
24 Carat Gold Coast

That’ll be right… Bondi would be around 4 foot today and bigger tomorrow…oh, and it looks wet down there….not up […]
