I've been doing a lot of walking around the past two days trying to figure out what Cronulla is all about. There's definitely a strong correlation between housing quality and proximity to the beach.

On the other hand, the houses near the water, while tightly packed, are unquestionably larger and nicer than their waterlocked counterparts. There are birds all over the place that make the most irritating sound; it's something between the whistling in the background of let me see you get low and the sound mariokart makes when you fall off a cliff. Infuriating
