Looks beautiful water 💦

Michael, this was fantastic — I could practically taste the salt spray and feel that “am I about to die or just having fun?” adrenaline. We’ll be in Sydney soon, and now I’m half-tempted to find my own rock pool… though let’s be honest, I’d last about 30 seconds before the Brass Monkeys laughed me back onto the shore. -Kelly

In high school I went on an exchange to Australia as well. I was in Newcastle and have since returned there multiple times. They have a rock pool in the Newcastle area called the Bogey Hole and it's beautiful as well. I **heart** Australia!

I read about the Bogey Hole while writing this piece. I need to go back and check it out one day!

I've been obsessed with the thought of going to Australia and New Zealand since the Lord of the Rings movies. Now you're reminding me of it again. This looks so cool!

First, BEST MOVIES EVER!!! Second, both are fantastic countries and I miss rock pools every morning!

Ever since my first trip to Australia, I’ve wanted to swim in a rock pool. Just haven’t been able to make it happen. Someday! Great post!
