Waltzing Matilda
Okay - not quite waltzing - actually rockabilly - the title of this could/should have been The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company Sea - however as it is Australia Day here , I had to call it Waltzing Matilda.
Yes, my fine flickr friends - whilst Cronulla (seen yesterday) and 99% of beaches around Australia are very Australian/surfey - around Bondi just about everything happens on the beaches. You never know what you are going to see(sea ;)) next. This was taken in Tamarama about 10 days ago - there was a couple doing rockabilly dancing on the shoreline as the sun rose. She was beautifully done up with costume, perfectly coiffed hair with a gardenia and they were loving it. I love this shot as it captures the look on her face - they were having such a good time.
Happy Australia Day to one and all and remembering and respecting the custodians of this land for 40,000 years - many different indigenous tribes who treated this amazing continent with great respect and care until Captain Cooks(and a few before) arrival. All of us, who are recent arrivals, have much to learn from these people in how we live in this precious place .
