These ducks are a fair waddle from the water but that
doesn't stop queues forming outside the graffiti-covered walls for weekend breakfasts.
The adventurous owners have a strong commitment to using local, organic and fair-trade
food whenever possible.
Clovelly
CLODELI$
CAFE, DELI
Clovelly, regardless of age or gender, seems to be pushing a pram - the footpath out the
front of Clodeli is a preschool parking lot. Inside it's all about big breakfasts and
takeaway deli delights - and if you ask for a strong coffee, the hyperefficient staff won't
hold back. The massive mezze platter makes a terrific shared lunch.
CRONULLA
Cronulla is a beachy surf suburb south of Botany Bay, its long surf beach stretching beyond the dunes to the
Botany Bay refineries. It can be an edgy place (captured brilliantly in the '70s teen cult novel
Puberty Blues
),
with dingy fish-and-chip shops, insomnious teens and a ragged sense of impending 'something', which in 2005
erupted into racial violence. That said the beach is beautiful, with a pleasant promenade, and it's easy to reach
by train from Bondi Junction.
Spread out along the street facing the beach,
Northies

is the main drinking hole, offering a lively roster of sports, DJs, bands and quiz nights.
