A view of the salt water pool and rock pool at North Wollongong beach.

Then a view looking south from the light house between the two beaches.

You have the condo towers skirting the golf course with the industry of Port Kembla in the back ground


Then closer ups of the steel mill and coal loader, not that a pretty sight but it is the engine, along with coal mining under those treed mountains that, that drives the economy of this area, and Australia for a big part.

Today we are heading to another old friends place over at Menie for lunch. Yesterday was a lay down day of sorts doing odd jobs around the house, we were going to go for a drive with Pam and Neil but sewer problems over there house put a damper on that. Still an entertaining day with friends of moms and P&N coming over for afternoon tea.

Fran still cant get over "where all the traffic is going". On Saturday evening walking home from the railway station and even yesterday down at Hoxton park Rd the traffic is endless, makes one wonder what will happen in 10 years if something is not done to cut back on the volume on the roads.
