Day 78. – Burnt Retinas
If you’ve missed the morning swim it’s too late – Stay indoors now, It’s 7.34am, 28 degrees humid and glary outside. I did manage to snap these few overexposed shots before cutting a quick lap swim on the beach.

Day 77. – Someday Somewhere
Someday I’ll leave Sydney – buy a van and travel a coastline for a year or two. Until then, I’ll stay shooting these NSW beaches. Today Jonny and Ed say goodbye to a good friend of theirs, sending him off with a final surf (.. on the flattest day i’ve seen)

Day 76. – Flying High
Getting those high angles on the drone! something new in is the works – stay tuned. Also lightening storm to finish off the day put on a great show.
-
Day 74. – The Race Is On
Squeeze in a training session after work, the day before – Because being prepared is half the battle. Get up and get on a rescue board because it’s time to race. “Do whatever you can to get across the bay before anyone else”. *no photos of the race. v difficult to shoot and paddle.

Day 72. – The Morning Off
I tried, I really did. I’ve got the morning off – and going to bed I told myself, sleep-in tomorrow because I’ll need it. But it’s too hard to sleep with the waves crashing on my window at 6am. Surf was pumping and here are a few photos of the morning.

Day 70. – The Pretty Beach
Pack the tent and the inflatables swans, meet the crew and don’t forget the speakers. Spending the weekend down at the south coast with kangaroos, possums, mates, swans, stars, sunsets, and sunrises had all. The pool toy swans worked great but the inflatable mattress had issues with holes. No problem, jump in the hammock and watch…

Day 69. – Shark Buoy
Heres how my mornings usually go. Sleep -> Sleep. But this morning it was a paddle to the shark buoy. Bringing the GoPro along to see what was waiting for me (spoiler: it was just deep water but the photo’s looked good!).
-
Day 68. – Figure 8 Pools
It was the best day of 2017′ yesterday and Figure 8 Pools was the place to spend it. Packing camera’s, speakers and snorkels – we headed for the spot located along the coastline of the Royal National Park.
-
Day 67. – Bronze on Boards
The first morning in a long time the waves and temperature have been reasonable. Managing to somehow take a few photos riding to/from the club – It’s a big day and this is a good start.
-
Day 66. – Rain//forests
It’s been too long since I’ve had leeches housed up on cold muddy feet – Today we found ourselves stuck and seeking shelter from a storm under the Macquarie Pass waterfall. Even in the wet that national park is a good amount of fun, danger and mud.
-
Day 65. – A. Monday
I used to think after a wave spilt onto the sand the water would sink down and go underground. It doesn’t FYI, there are no secret underground beaches where crustaceans get pitted in surfing comps.. It simply flows back into the sea.
-
Day 64. – Splash On Sunday
Woke up at stupid AM today – decided instead of rolling back to bed i’d do a sunrise walk around Bondi/Bronte. I’m thinking of upgrading the camera equipment soon – Possibly a drone or underwater housing!?
-
Day 61. – Head To The Mountains
It’s still cold enough to justify a trip to the mountains – I generally only like going to the blue mountains when it’s winter. Something about the irrationally gusty winds and the minus temperatures, it must be good for the soul.
-
Day 60. – Sky High
Oh shit, I forgot. I left the oven on… I have around 7mins to shoot this and get back to make my enchiladas. Bondi Kite Festival is freaking unreal as thousands make their way to the beach to watch the hundreds of kites.
-
Day 59. – Pools
Back in the country and back to business – Karloo Pools to dodge these cold winds coming through. The pool was too cold for a dip but it’s good to know this place exists – will visit again soon, with an inflatable and several beers.
-
Day 57. – Ceres
Ceres are Australian underground music in its purest form. second time I’ve seen them now and both shows have been incredible, almost as good as their latest album. To add to this the Melbourne group have some good on stage banter which drives home that entertainment factor. *note to self: buy a flash.
-
Day 56 – Bondi Bowl
The bowl didn’t stand a chance. This thing is huge, and these kids killed it. story time: finished up my day surfing the rescue board when I see some crazy foreigner has decided to swim to the shark nets at dusk. After paddling the 1km out to this fearless guy and hearing his justification on…

Day 55. – Trippin’
I’m coming to pick you up. Just booked a last minute AirBnb down at Jervis Bay and we’re leaving in 10mins. Stopping via Kelly Falls and Cave Beach – this weekend was a cold but good one. 👍🏼
-
Day 49. – Shark Spotted
It’s 13℃. I’m dripping wet. My wetsuit is shotgunned with holes and I cant feel toes. And i’ve never felt better. Also, just when my day couldn’t get any better I meet Ruby the Sharkdog.
-
Day 47. – Jervis Bay
I’m not sure if I’m in the ACT or NSW, either way we performed a hit and run on the most peaceful place in Limbo. Sunsets/sunrises, volleyball and beach caves filled the two days of adventures. Also I found a baby beach Scorpion.
-
Day 45. – The Last Patrol
For me, the final signal that summer is well and truely over is the last Bondi patrol. This morning included a beach race and a ride on the IRB (inflatable ducky). With smiles all round the weather hit 27℃ and great swell conditions followed. The end of seasons is next week but from tomorrow i’ll…

Day 42 – Cabin Fever
No time to explain just get in!… We’re going to travel through time on a musical journey. If this confuses you it’s probably because you didn’t attend the Hunter Valley Hot Dub Wine Machine event last weekend. With a torrential downpour forecast it did limit how far the camera could travel, but didn’t limit the amount…

Day 41 – Rain
Sideways rain, messy swell and large rips made for an interesting training session this morning. Add this to a pitch black 6.10am start made for an interesting morning. I’ve been waiting for a good day to shoot black and white. With not much activity on the beach from the storm today was the time to…
