Here’s a few pix I never got around to posting:

Bondi Beach. Another lovely beach, this time with swimmers even! A hundred meters or so from this sign, a cute little group of red-suited kids were learning to surf, and doing a much better job of it than I ever will.

Later at Bondi, I decided to pause a moment and take in a view I don’t get at home.

Manly. These stickers…

… are surprisingly common, so I asked a local if they had any effect on the junk mail. She said they did cut down the volume, but I gathered it actually meant inserts and leaflets being stuck in the slot, not actual post.

Bondi Junction. I’ve seen two of these Coke machines now, offering you the ability to buy a Coke product with your phone. The costs is 33¢ plus the cost of the Coke (A$2 usually) and it shows up on your mobile bill. I’ve heard much about “m-commerce” but I’m still at a loss as to why anyone would go to the time, effort, and additional expense to dial 10 digits instead of using a single coin. Would love to know how well this technology is doing…

You knew I had to do it eventually.
