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'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!

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

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!
Thanks! And I hope you do. Swimming in a good rock pool is truly a gorgeous experience!
