Summer 2016

I was reading an article in SMH the other day and it said Sydney has had it's longest run of hot weather ever this summer. There have been 26 days in a row over 28 degrees. Awesome. We've really tried to make the most of it by getting to a few 'secret' beaches. I guess these days there is no such thing in Sydney but it's still an adventure getting to somewhere new that isn't Bondi or Manly. Here's some photos from some of the spots we've been over the past couple of weeks.

Kutti Beach
Kutti is a tiny beach down in Vaucluse and just before Watson's Bay. It's at the end of a dead end street and has a very tiny staircase to get down to it. What is so cool about Kutti is it's dog friendly so we've been able to go with Dasha. It's been awhile since he's been to the beach and he absolutely loved it.

Dash loving it but still afraid to come out in the water

Darook Beach
Darook is located down behind Cronulla and another slice of heaven in Sydney. It's a short walk down a steep hill but is a super calm spot being on the inner harbor. The best part about coming here is the random bakery we discovered nearby which has the best pies around. Sun, water, pies. Lovely.

Camp Cove
Camp Cove was a spot we went to a lot early on weekend morning last summer. It was good to get out there to beat the crowds as traffic and parking can be pretty notorious. I went there two days in a row last week and it was one of the beach highlights of this summer. The water was just that perfect temperature which is refreshing on a hot day. The boys had a ball and had their obligatory drive home nap indicating they'd had a really good time.

We're going to really miss summer 2016. Bring on Summer 2017.
