Bondi Beach

Hi! After school I went  to Bondi Beach. Bondi Beach is the most famous beach in Australia probably one of the most famous beaches in the world!

Mum and I got a frozen yogurt and went to the beach.

Mum and I did a bit of shopping, we went to clothing stores and mum bought a lovely brown top. At the same shop where mum bought her new brown top, a lady at the shop gave me a golden leaf. It means good luck, she said.


Oh, and by the way my teacher at my new school is called MissFisher. She is really nice. I have two friends at my new school, one is called Emma who looks a bit like me and is very nice, and Maddy (Madeline) and she is nice too.

WOW, I really hate when you are sitting in the sun beating on you then the next second it start to pour rain.

Hi!
I live in Perth, Australia and have been to Bondi about 3 times. I would have to agree, its very popular! With over 12 000 rescues every summer, its a VERY popular beach!
