This is the view that greeted tonight me after stopping to grab a special coffee for my wife at Bulcock Beach near the boardwalk adjoining Pumicestone Passage looking across to Golden Beach....

Geez, it's hard not to like living in this part of the country when everywhere else is shivering their butts off.
Let's see if I can get the photos working again.Here's a few of York.

I should point out that these shots, along with my build diary, give a very flattering picture of the weather in York, it's generally a lot greyer and a lot wetter.
Some fantastic buildings there, I tend to forget how young Australia is some times.Quote:

WOW, so much old stuff. Why don't they knock it all down and replace with nice new fresh buildings?Quote:

I fondly remember sitting in London for the first time, supping a pint with mates, in an inn whose building was as old the settled history of both of the countries I call home. Apparently it is referenced in the first map of Southwark circa 1543.
And to think NSW was planning to bulldoze and rebuild the SFS because it's 30 years old!
My home city York, lovely place, wish I could afford to move back there.....Quote:

Hmmm, it was a nice panoramic photo but the program won't accept :-(
How about one of Mrs Cork Sniffer in the same place, Wollongong's Nth suburbs.

Beautiful spot to swim and dive, just not if you are a small fish ;)Quote:

You'd recognize this, I took it with an early pocket camera years ago.

I get down there once or twice a month for work, Thirroul and the hamlets/Villages along the coastal road are lovely. I always make time to stop along the way and just sit for a bit.Quote:

Samsung mobile phone cannot do much better in low light plus there was also a lot of salt spray creating a haze effect.
Went down again tonight and the wind has considerably picked up, got sand blasted from all the airborne sand, surf is about the same, and loads more salt spray haze.
Not often we see a cyclone this far south and it may be a couple more days before we know where it might end up. Board riders will be loving it.
Wow. You guys live in some beautiful places.
I wound up in Canberra for a long Latest Pakistani Talk Shows time, a genuinely wonderful city however the winters are cracking loathsome! It is additionally an over the top expensive spot to live.
