Hike North of Bondi Beach

Past the northern headland, the track abruptly ended so we took to the streets. We passed a mixture of sturdy brick buildings from the fifties, an occasional art deco dream, and modern houses.

I hiked to Tamarara Beach followed by Bronte. Around the cliff face wind swooped as if it lingered in one of the hollows it carved out, waiting for me to pass, waiting for the next wave so it could send up another layer of sea spray.

Paradise Cave

After a climb up to the cave entrance in Phong Nha ke Bang National Park, we descended into a wonderland through a small opening.
