And to think it was just going to be another ordinary day on Bondi Beach...

New Beginnings by Tempestivitas.

This is not any old story. It's an explanation about a bunch of events that brought two people together. Come on a journey with them as they cross paths and their stories intertwine. It's not a classic love story- its one with heartbreak, love, loss, strength and hope, and it represents real life from various aspects. Emilee returns from a surfing scholarship in Bali after 10 years of training. She comes home to her father, Kerrbox and Bondi and falls for a fellow Bali surf kid, Bra Boy Jesse Polock. It recounts her fun-filled life, a new best friend and boyfriend plus a whole heap of mates Emilee keeps forever.

Lilo Jenkinson. Average girl. Average life. Average everything really. But for her it was about to change. Ever since her surfing accident, Lilo has wanted to save peoples’ lives. Her brother Michael is already one step ahead of her. Bondi beach. One of the busiest beaches here in Australia. Lilo was from Queensland. A nice place but the beaches weren’t very busy at all and her lifeguard training was pretty boring here. Michael had told her they were recruiting soon. Why not try it out? She’s had some training and she is a pretty serious surfer. Even after her accident she kept surfing. Lilo was closer to her brother than anyone else. Her parents split and now she lives with her dad and brother. Every year since Lilo can remember her dad had taken her to Bondi to surf. He was a good teacher. In her teens she went on her own and that’s when her accident happened.

Two years on and Lilo Jenkinson is doing better than she ever imagined. She has a a loving family and amazing friends. And, she is in a healthy state of mind, finally. After her two months away travelling with her fiancé and two kids, she came back and became a full time mum. At the end of the day, all she wanted was to be taken back in to her old job, her old life. Over those months, Lilo longed to be back in the water, saving people's lives and having fun. She missed her brother, and her colleagues, now turned friends. They had helped her through the rough times all those years ago. When she got back she never stopped seeing them and talking to them, and she always brought Nate and Savannah down to the beach. But now the kids are three years old, and have a full time nanny, Lilo decides it's time to go back to the job she once loved; being a lifeguard at Bondi Beach.  More events come in to Lilo's life, some unexpected, some welcomed.

Any details such as family names etc. have been found through twitter and instagram. If you have twitter can you get this onto the #teamBR tag, or at least get it noticed on there. It would be amazing if one of the lifeguards read this :) I find the lifeguards inspirational and the show has actually helped me through some difficult situations within my family.
