Christmas at Shelly Beach, Manly 🎄
Christmas at Shelly Beach, Manly 🎄
So hot yesterday in Sydney. A perfect little spot for a dip on the northern beaches #sydney #beach
Daily morning walks with an amazing cafe at the end!
The sky was clear so we thought this would be a great day for visibility, but unfortunately the rough swell and seaweed made the water relatively murky. My second time testing out the Meikon underwater camera housing and got a sweet shot of this little guy! #patterns #australia #beach #waterlust
