Cronulla, Elouera Beach, surf rescue (Theme Day: What Would You Miss?)

Elouera is a surf beach on the shore of Bate Bay, in the southern suburb of Cronulla. This surf rescue patrol shade tent on the beach and all terrain vehicle are used by lifesavers to rescue swimmers or surfers from the Pacific Ocean. For this theme day, I chose Sydney's surf beaches for what I would miss most if I had to leave the city from which I usually post forever.

  1. Hah, good choice, Jim. Ten years ago, I would have mussed them, but nowadays, the movement of the water sets up a swaying in my vestibular system, and I take another day to recover!. Love the colours you have captured here. Actually, I did not know that Bate Bay existed ...

  6. I definitely would miss beach and water worlds. The little beach buggy looks just like the one used here in Dromana.

  9. I used to live in a coastal town (Atlantic Ocean) so I can see why you'd miss this lovely beach, the surf, the salty air....

  11. You photograph buildings so much I thought you might have chosen them, but certainly the surf beaches are an important part of Sydney.

    1. Joan, I almost chose the Sydney Opera House but thought I might highlight something different this time.

  17. It is beautiful! No wonder you would miss it. I grew up being able to walk to the beach from my house as a kid and it was one of the hardest things to get used to not having when I moved.

    1. It could have been. I'm not sure of the history of these convent buildings but this one looks like it could have been the original church building.
