‘There are always a lot of laughs,’ he said.
‘Most people know each other by first name but not last.
But if you don’t show up people ask where you’ve been.’
Diana Warnock lives in Perth but has been coming every weekday morning for the last 12 years.
‘I just love it,’ Mrs Warnock said.
‘It takes me 20 minutes to get here and 20 minutes to get home, but I can still be at work by 9 o’clock.
Where else in the world could you live in the CBD and come to the beach each morning?’
Mrs Warnock, a former politician, journalist and current patron of Friends of Perth International Arts Festival, said the ocean had remained tepid all through the current winter.
