Christmas Greetings from Downunder.

(This was filmed on Burleigh Beach in the iconic Burleigh Barrel waves off Burleigh Heads, my part of the world)

Fun, sun and lots of happiness sent to all my friends and blogging buddies.

May this season be filled with peace and harmony where ever you are in this big world of ours.

Cheers mates, and best wishes for 2015…

    • Our Christmas was HOT which I still find strange after being in this part of the world for 50+ years I still think of Christmas in terms of cold, snow, roaring fires and hot Christmas dinners. We have salads, cold ham and prawns!!!!

          • A lot of the International pro surfing carnivals are held at this beach. I love watching them from the headlands. Many top surfers were born and bred in this area and they learnt to surf in the Burleigh barrels.

            • how cool – and we have heard some surfers say that there and hawaii is the “must visit bucket list” for surfers – ๐Ÿ™‚
              and the area where some of my family lives down in Florida is proud of their local boy who made surfing history – not sure if you hear dog Kelly Slater – and they have a few statues of him around thereโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™‚
