A tribute to Australia's finest





















family surf trips:
the vittoria coffee has been consumed, it's 8:30 a.m. and the cicadas are chirping. Gonna be a hot one. Hope for a bluebottle-free beach, good surf, mind the shark fins boys.



































Cricket matches
: Austalia v. Pakistan with a crowd of 30,000. The beer is flowing wildly, the trumpets come out. The beer snakes, the taunting, the police in full force. After 9 hours of play I finally start to understand the magic of this game...
















The beaches
:
Endless beaches, like this one (racecourse beach, 3.5 hours south of Sydney). Barely a soul. Soft grainy sand, gentle slopes, warm winds.





















The fishing
:
pounding sea waves, the cliffs awash with big surf. Mind your line, watch out for the big wave! Salmon, bream, taylor, all up for grabs.

















The sunsets
:
big sky, maybe a lightening storm on top of it all. Perfect warmth.
