Hi Frothers,
Happy ‘hump day’- down hill to the weekend from here.
Sorry for the late one, but I’ve just returned from a sabbatical at Broughton Island and thought I’d share some shots from the trip. If you haven’t heard of Broughton Island, it’s located here, just north-west of Port Stephens. The place is unreal, a photographers dream and the best part- it’s only accessible by boat (or helicopter if you’re a high roller).
Broughton Island is part of the Myall Lakes National Park and is surrounded by a marine park home to one of thirteen Grey Nurse Shark Nurseries in New South Wales. I lost count how many times I swam through ‘The Looking Glass’ where the Grey Nurse Sharks congregate. I could’ve spent all day diving down below the schools of fish, cruising with the sharks.
If you’re a scuba diver or a keen freediver, definitely put Broughton Island on your bucket list.
Adios amigos,
Beau

Hi Frothers !
That big South swell that hit Sydney last week arrived at Coffs Harbour hitting the main surfing spots around the area .
It wasn’t as good as expected and not nearly as big as some spots in Sydney but the locals still found some fun sessions to wet their appetite. Park beach had some nice rides , Sawtell was fun for a few days . Uranga and Valla clocked some good sessions too. I did more surfing than taking photos to be honest, trying to get my fitness up but I still got to capture some action at Park Beach. Hope you all surfers got wet and scored some waves and for the rest, well, enjoy the photos.
Have a great week everyone,
Cheers from Coffs,
Martin

Hi Frothers !
Pretty bad day outside this morning. No one on the sand. Hardly anyone in the water at all. Murky waters from the rain last night…not your ideal summer conditions for sure.
So, instead of boring you with rainy images from Sydney, let us take you to travel around a bit a present you some more images of our Europe-based Photographer Greg Rabejac. You can find those images and many more in his gallery.
Images are the best travelling-machine: descriptive enough, they still let room for imagination. What happens the next second, the next minute ?…Up to you to decide…
Have a nice one!
Cheers,
Franck

Hi Frothers !
Well….one thing I can tell you: there are waves!
My God! Today is like a perfect Winter day, with warm water: it’s super chilly (15 degrees this morning), windy, and there is a big (and increasing) South swell. Not your usual January summery conditions. It looks like July.
I drove down to Maroubra to find a South protected corner. Good bet indeed. It’s big. It’s offshore. It’s pumping. But there is a lot of water moving around! Banks will change over the course of the next few days. Tomorrow should be epic!
Little bonus of the morning: last night pastel sunset. Pretty cool.
Have a good day.
Cheers,
Franck

Hi Frothers !
Rather than moaning about the dreadful weather, or the rain that spoiled Australia Day yesterday, I thought I’d post some shots taken on Sunday morning in Crescent Head, on my way back from Byron Bay. I am hoping this would cheer you up a bit and make you want to leave town on a little road trip for less crowded waves, and barbie time with a couple of your best friends (sounds like a Corona ad…).
2 to 4 foot runners, great atmosphere in the water, impeccable sky. If you were lucky, you could get one of those gems, the wave that connects all the way, that took you from out the back to the river mouth. After I put the cameras back in the bags, I caught many waves, but managed to get 3 of those: they made my day. Over a minute of uninterrupted surfing. I tried to figure out how many waves I’d need to catch in Bondi to clock the same surfing time…
Today is kind of the ”back to school” day for most professionals. Hardly anyone is on holidays anymore. It’s full steam again till Easter. That’s alright. We’ll get through this. It happens every year…:)
Have a good day.
Cheers,
Franck
