Iconically Australian…

At exactly 33.89S and 151.27E you will have reached your destination!
 
 
Iconically Australian and delightfully quirky…
  …welcome to The Grounds by the Sea…  
 
 
A Pop-Up Cafe in Marks Park  and The Grounds of Alexandria‘s Baby sister,
It’s where comfort is paramount…

And unfortunately, NOT for sale!

It’s where refreshments entice amidst the sandy bric-a-brac

And just around the corner, is the Pick Up joint…

… for sumptious snacks and exotic drinks 
served by staff schooled in the Basil Fawlty tradition!
Then take a pew…
Under the clothes line…
Amidst wodden pegs and underwear
As you watch the sun slowly sink into the warm earth
Or if you prefer a more muted sky…
Sit at the front overlooking Bondi Beach
And a ubiqutous lone pine.
The Grounds by the Sea is surely grounds for permanency?

(This pop-up cafe is a welcome respite and part of  Sculpture By the Sea 2014)

    Thank you Mem… it was such a lovely surprise at the top of the hill. We all signed a petition to have it as a permanent cafe. Fingers crossed. fxx
