To Maroubra
One of our first walking trips here in Sydney was the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk, which we enjoyed very much. However, by the time we got to Coogee, we didn't have energy to explore Coogee. So this past Sat. We decided to take the bus to Coogee beach and spend the afternoon looking around and enjoy the beach. It had been raining of and on in the morning, but it looked like it was clearing up. When we got to Coogee, we were fascinated with the rock and cliffs on the south end. So we decided to explore.
Looking south, see the rocks!!!

Terry out on one of the rocks close to the water.
Tom standing on the edge! The water was so beautiful!!
It took us three tries to get us both with the time delay on the camera!! I wasn't as quick jumping down the rocks to join Tom, so he then tried it. He was much quicker!
One of the expansive rock "beaches" along the trail. By the time we got to this point, we realized that we were fairly far along and that the trail would end up in Maroubra. So we decided to press on. Some parts of the trail looped up through a neighborhood.
Look closely, between the two center houses is a set of steps leading down to the rocks. Wouldn't it be fun to live in one of those houses? We almost didn't see the path, as from the front it looked like a private way, but there was a small post with an arrow and the coastal walk symbol which we finally noticed.

Maroubra Beach in the distance. Just as we got to the place where we could see the beach, it started to sprinkle. The wind was blowing and the sun was also shining. Very amazing sight. As we got closer to the beach, we saw a spectacular rainbow, which lengthened as the clouds changed the amount of sunshine.
The rain actually stopped and we did get to walk in the water and read on the beach. We were there about an hour, then more sprinkles. So we went across the street to a little Thai place for dinner.
