  1. Here's another feature of same place.
  2. Hint: It's an airport. It has also changed a little since photo was taken in 2012. I'll look for another pic.
  3. Had hoped to post this sooner but was distracted by the horrific event at Westfield Bondi. Here's the next pic. Not pretty but it's in a pretty place.
  4. Thanks. Have been there three times - which is enough. The first time was during SARS, the doors into China were shut just after we arrived. I'll go find a pic. Stand by.
  5. Havana? No not there, wrong way. I'll try Aruba?
  6. Aha. I've been on that road but didn't recognise it, but now it's coming back to me.
  7. Was out on the board yesterday in a stiff nor'westerly. It was great, on the foil most of the time, did about 20klms. Bounced off a lot of huge jelly blubbers which appeared in their thousands ealier this year but have thinned down now. About a month ago one our guys smashed into something under water. He believes was a shark. It bent the 115cm alloy fuselage of his foil. And last Saturday he spotted a small hammerhead. But wait, there's more, yesterday another rider hit something very very hard, again, likely another a shark, which smashed his carbon fibre front wing and snapped its fuselage. On each of those occasions they would be travelling at about 15-20kts (28-37kph). Luckily they both escaped injury - don't know about the sharks.
  8. There's a tale or two to be told there.
  9. It is in the Port Stephens area but it is a big area. Where?
  10. My son arrived home today from his SP cruise on RCI Ovation/ Enjoyed himself however there was COVID on board. He is ok ATM however the couple he went with have come down with it. He was to supposed to come home with them in their car but opted to take the train instead. I picked him up from Cardiff station. While driving to the station there was a news flash on the radio that an aircraft had crashed into Lake Macquarie. Tonight I learned it was a gyrocopter and it crashed right where I usually go winsurfing. It was, coincidently, the same one I saw on Saturday landing and taking off at Warners Bay. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-03/gyrocopter-crash-lake-macquarie-marmong-point/103662286
