We have had a nodding acquaintance with Tory for many years. Our kids, now in their late 20s and 30s were at the same primary school (but different years) and she has been slogging up and down the promenade for about as long as we have. Finally the planets aligned and we actually stopped and chatted.

“My day starts with coffee, word games and some gentle stretches. I get some work out of the way then hit the promenade for a walk where invariably I’ll stop and chat to the locals.  Every day will include a walk with a friend, a swim or Surf (depending on the conditions) or all of the above.

I’ve been a part of the Bondi community for over 35 years, having raised three kids in the area. I am a long service member of a local Surf Club and have made many lifetime friends through this club. My work can be challenging so I need my Dr Bondi fix at least once a day. I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather live and come home to.”
