On The Beach
On the Beach was a 1959 American science fiction drama film from United Artists, produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, and starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins.   The film is based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war.  The Australian government arranges for its citizens to receive suicide pills or prepared injections so they may end things quickly before there is prolonged suffering from radiation sickness.I need a great deal of convincing that any Australian will pop a pill to be taken away from this paradise
Paradise on Earth for all ‘boardies’
Your swimmers need never even get wet!
Suggest that you only partake of this sport where there is a fresh fish shop close by,
​otherwise you may go home hungry!
What did we say about your swimmers not getting wet?
​Well you can strip down to the almost birthday attire, if you so choose
I hope you don't mind sharing your piece of Paradise with the big cruise liners?
OK.  So this, eventually, is the image most people have of Sydney and the famous  Bondi Beach.
And some just want to get away from it all
The sign clearly states “Do not jump from the wall”  Obviously written by some ‘killjoy’ not wanting us to have fun
OCD?
(Taking your phone to the water's edge)
Why does this only happen to someone else?
Sunday morning at Watsons bay
The Aussie sun can be harsh and he left his T-shirt at home
so there must be some other way to ‘cover up’.
Besides which, it makes a stationery target for that sea gull lurking behind.     
Watching the early morning canoeists      - Rose Bay  ​
Even Wagga Wagga has a beach, hundreds of km from the coast. 
​But the shade here is great.
We don't all go to the waters edge to get wet! 
​Some go to show off a new hat.
