Where: Northern Beaches Sydney Australia.
When: Autumn still warm.
Where to eat: The many cafe's at Dee Why
Where to go out: Oxford St Sydney... Always an eye opener!

So Dee Why Sydney was our last event in a string of four in a row and it was nice to be back into God's country (aka Australia).
Some times after four events in a row you can become a little burnt out and I think this was the case with a lot of the girls.
For some they have been away from home since February and were looking forward to the event running so they could go home.... So it was always going to be that after our first and second round heats the ocean would go completely flat and we would all be waiting around until the last day of the waiting period to run!
Things could definitely be worse and Sydney is such an amazing city to cruise around you can never get bored. Staying on the Northern Beaches you can jump on a ferry ride under the Harbour Bridge and be in the lively and entertaining hustle and bustle of the CBD in no time.
I went to hang out at the infamous Bondi Beach for a friend's birthday, chipped my tooth opening a bottle (don't tell my mum), rode a mal and a fish, went to a cool pub and then an art show all in one day and was home in time to be asleep and ready for my next day of competition... which wasn't for another 3 days.
The Beachley Classic fell this year on the Anzac Day long weekend and it was awesome to go and pay respect to the troops who fought for the freedom of our country. In Australia it is tradition to attend a dawn service and then head to the local pub for some beers and 2 up. Which is a game of heads or tails with three coins and a lot of betting
