Beaching at Bondi

Bondi is an Aboriginal word meaning crowded beach. Perhaps. From my cell phone pic's vantage point, the beach looks positively saturated but, honestly, once you get in closer and you look for a spot yourself, there's ample space. I camped out for about two hours and had at least 10 feet of space all around me. But the water- the water was cold. And not stand-in-it-for-30-seconds-and-get-used-to-it type of cold either. COLD. I got in up to my knees.
