It is a great regret of mine that Bondi never strolled along the promenade at Bondi Beach due to the stringent anti-dog policies of Waverley Council. A multitude of "No Dogs" signed were posted at each end of the beach and council inspectors were quick to advance on infringers with their microchip scanners and fine-books. I wrote to the Council some time ago to point out that the policy of allowing dogs on the coast path was at odds with the policy of forbidding them on this particular stretch. I never got a reply, and appeals to the NSW state bodies were dismissed with the usual circular argument about it being forbidden because it's against the law.
Today I see that the policy has been amended to allow leashed dogs on this stretch of concrete. The world has not been brought to an end by all the people out strolling this fine day with their canine friends. Now if some of the similar pointless policies in the Sydney CBD can be overturned it will a happier day for all.
Munson met a four month old Siberian Husky pup by the name of Maya (pronounced May-a). She's all white with two piercing blue eyes. Quite a crowd developed as they checked each other out. It was quite difficult to get good photos as people would simply walk in front of my camera to take their own pictures.
