Christmas Day at Coogee

After an overcast start, the sun finally wins through for a gloriously sunny Christmas afternoon. Pack the esky, it's off to the beach.


All aboard the Polar Express... Proudly brought to you by Coka Cola. Come on Rock, power walking ain't gonna burn off that Christmas excess.

Mariners beware, mermaids have been reported in the area. Don't get lured to your doom like one poor sucker...

The sun is shining, the barbies are firing up, the bikinis are coming out (and then off) , and Rock's still eating. Welcome to Christmas on Coogee beach.

The best thing about Coogee is it lies just below the flight path for Sydney Kingsford Smith International's runway 25. With a westerly breeze blowing the heavies were vectoring in on short finals over the golden sand. Can it get any better than that? Here a magnificent Qantas 747-400 , still emblazoned with the flying Kangaroo rather than the holey dollar, lines up her final approach with gears extended and full flaps.

Too bad you're just looking "up" at it (qantas), instead of "on" it....
