australia: beaches

Australia is very much known for its beaches, but as I stayed in the south in their winter, it was far too cold for sunbathing/swimming/etc, but I still made the trip to a couple of beaches.



Sydney's famed Bondi Beach.



Having grown up so close, it's always nice to see the ocean when I travel.



St. Kilda beach, in the south of Melbourne, had a cute little lighthouse. It also had the added benefit of being near a field where I got to watch an intense game of Aussie Rules Football played by gorgeous Australian men. Drool.



Luna Park, a cute amusement park, is located right near St. Kila beach. They had a ride like this (the Phoenix) at Busch Gardens in Tampa. It terrifies me.
