There's a little stretch of sand over the other side of Sydney Harbour called Bondi Beach.  It's comes to life in Summer, loves the Nor-Easter's, has the largest "flagged" (no surfing) area in the Southern Hemisphere and might be the only place in New South Wales where the real estate is more expensive than Manly. Bondi Beach is also the name of a horse in a little race down in Melbourne town today.  He's an outsider but for a non-punter the odds are worth an each way. I'm backing Bondi!

Wave's are pretty average in Manly this morning.  You'd be better off sharpening your outfit for the races.
