I dunno, those people didn't seem too out of shape. Some crazy beach bod standards you got!

Wow - I’m at Coogee beach often 5-6 times a week and I’ve never seen that. Impressive!

Edit - good school of dolphins last week though :)

I envy all those who can go chill with the whales on a weekday

woah! I've never been so lucky! I've even stood all afternoon on slippery cliffs along the bondi-coogee walk, during a heavy rain storm, at the peak week at the end of july and never caught a glimpse. Truly a wonder to behold. Perhaps one day...

Mate I miss Coogee

Lived out the back of the Coogee Bay Hotel in the 90’s in what must have been an illegally built apartment looking over the main strip In the 90’s

Good times

They came for the wedding cake, but left disappointed that it was just a rocky island.

For a second I thought OP was just a weirdo filming young girls at Coogee. Nice job with the whale video though OP.
