#LoveYourNeighbourhood

Amanda - Elanora Heights, NSW

Maite - Brunswick, VIC

This photo was taken at sunrise, at Narrabeen rock pool, and it embodies what my neighbourhood is all about….. sand, sun, and surf. It’s my favourite place to be still, reflect on life, see the day dawn, be in awe of raging oceans

During my 7 years here in Brunswick I've encountered scenes like this one many times. Nonnas, abuelas, grandmothers, yayas... the same beautiful vintage yet warm homey vibe that I love from this neighbourhood.
