Back to where the sun rises in your face.

OK, its been a while since I have made an entry into my digital diary, so I will have to make up with this one. The last time I touched base, my stay in WA had come to an end and I was on my ay to the Metropolis of Sydney. I spent a couple of nights along the Norther Beaches shooting Rosy and her Dad (Steve) at North Narrabeen, which produced some of the best waves in those few days, that I have ever seen come thru in that corner. A couple of days ago, we (Rosy, her Family and I) decided to make the trek down to Victoria, Bells Beach in the Holden Commodore ‘Executive’. The roughly 1200 km journey was spread over 2 days with a night spent in wooden cabins buried in a National Parks’ forest teeming with local wildlife. Having arrived in Torquay, locally called the ‘Surf Coast’ of Victoria, we were greeted with below average waves for a week straight. We made the journey to Bells Beach to support Rosy during her campaign at the ‘Rip Curl, Bells Beach Pro’, the Longest running Pro Surfing event in the World, with its first appearance in 1961. Having competed in poor conditions Rosy held her composure and performed well to finish in 9th place, narrowly loosing to Chelsea Hedges, former World Champ. With the contest over, we may soon be heading back into direction Sydney, in preparation for the next leg of our journey, which takes us into the heart of New Zealand’s North Island. I look forward to set foot into a new country and throwing some eye at the Lord of the Rings amazing scenery and landscapes.

I am sure there will be plenty more images share and tales to tell as the weeks go by.
