We've been lucky enough to have grown up on Manly Beach chasing waves, dipping in and out of the salt, and exploring a plethora of coves and nature walks.
We've since travelled near and far, which always provides a great appreciation for your own home. We now reside here, by the ocean, where we fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
