VAUCLUSE & CRONULLA PHOTO DIARY

photos taken by me
and the photos of me were taken by Sam

Hey everyone! 

So, remember where I mentioned setting an alarm for 4:15am in my last post? Well, these beauties of mother nature was what I was preparing myself for. Vaucluse at sunset and Cronulla at sunrise. It was so worth it and I'm not sure if my photos did the scenery justice. 

I traveled by bus and train to meet my friend Sam at the train station, then head off onto another bus to Cronulla Beach. Funnily, the Cronulla photos were from the sunrise (I would've sorted the photos to be Cronulla then Vaucluse but I already put Vaucluse first in the title photo before I realised eep!) and it was just a beautiful dark orange creeping up from the horizon at first light, and then the sky faded to it's light blue as the sun rose. There were people swimming in the ocean at 5am (it's the middle of winter!) and I honestly wish I was brave enough to jump into the ocean during sunrise too! 

The wait for the sunset (9am-3pm) was spent at my friend Fiona's house, where we basically mucked around for 6 hours, until we had to leave again to head towards Vaucluse. 

Unfortunately, there were clouds blocking the sun so we could only catch a bit of it that peeked out from the clouds. The sky faded slowly from light blue to dark, but oh my gosh, the bay we were at (Shark Bay) was so so nice. It was this small beach that had greeny blue water and sadly I didn't have appropriate clothing or else I would've jumped into the water, though it is actually the perfect beach to visit when the weather gets warmer! Also, how awesome is that sandcastle? It was built upon some rocks at the far side of the bay! 

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed seeing these photos because I sure did enjoy taking photos and witnessing it! 

Hope you're all well,

Ciao for now!

A TRIP TO STANWELL PARK - PHOTO DIARY

wearing: floppy hat from Rubi, shorts from Valleygirl and shirt from a small boutique

The Beach

On Our Lunch Break

Roaming The Residential Area

Going Back Home! 

photos were mostly taken by Fiona and I took a few :) 

The 6th of January involved travelling out of Sydney and into Stanwell Park by train! It was a slightly spontaneous trip but it was so good to go somewhere new (and being out of Sydney was a relief because same old everything)
Fiona and I started off by visiting the beach and being the prepared people we were, we went on this trip both wearing converses (only because we thought we'd be walking a lot and weren't thinking about a beach day) and in the midst of us getting our photo taken by the beach, the water washed up high onto the tide and got both our feet wet! So we had to continue our day in damp shoes and socks.
Next, we took a lunch break and had it at a really nice cafe called Palms Cafe (which I would really recommend if heading there!). We chose the slow-roasted honey mustard beef on damper and IT WAS SO DELICIOUS, I personally think food is the highlight of travelling to new places and this place did not let me down.
Then we basically roamed the neighbourhood and just looped around until we got back to the train station and we took a train back home!
It was such a fun trip and despite walking around with wet shoes I really enjoyed going somewhere different woohooo.

ALSO, since this is a new year I would like to ask for suggestions for post ideas and/or questions you may have! So (not sure how many people actually read this blog but) if you have anything feedback or ideas for me to improve my blog OR if you have any questions that I can accumulate for a FAQ kinda page in the future then please leave them in the comments or my ask.fm!

THANK YOU GUYS. 

(and love you for sticking around with me and reading my blog ♥)

Stay well and keep smiling! 

Ciao for now,
