Summer in Sydney's Eastern suburbs

As all tracks and trails in the Royal National Park were closed due to a total fire ban yesterday’s tour of the Royal National Park was replaced by a trip to some of Sydney’s finest beaches.

Exceptionally warm weather in the last few days (5 consecutive days over 29 degrees celsius) has made it feel like we are in the middle of a summer heat wave.

We visited the Eastern Suburbs beaches of Bondi, MacKenzie’s, Tamarama and Bronte and the day included several walks at different beaches, a swim at Bronte baths and lunch at Manly Beach.

The first walk was from North Bondi to MacKenzies Beach where the four legged brigade happily frolicked on the beach.

Tamarama was not open to swimmers but did provide nice conditions for board riders with smooth shapely waves.

Bronte’s most popular spot was the baths, which had the whitewater from waves occasionally breaking into it.

The water temperature was on the cold side but became reasonable if you swam around for a while.

By the time we reached Manly in the early afternoon the wind had kicked in robbing the northern beaches of shapely waves - just mush.

MacKenzies Beach may be tiny but the dogs dont mind
