At the far south end of Bondi Beach you'll find this building, the famous Bondi Icebergs . The top floor is an expensive restaurant (Kylie Minogue and Paris Hilton have eaten here in the last few months) but the rest of the building is given over to a little cafe (great coffee) and sauna and changing rooms belonging to the pool.
The rockpools in Sydney attract a lot of retired people, and most of them seem to belong to the pool's swimming club. The blokes display their allegiance by wearing speedos with the club name on their backsides. This guy's a member of the icebergs but at Coogee the knickers read "Coogee Penguins". There are whole legions of these retirees lounging about the beaches and pools of the Eastern Suburbs. They have alarming suntans and (in some cases) alarming pot bellies to match.
It's not hard to see why Australia has a higher life expectancy than almost anywhere else in the world.
