The view from my "office"

I made it close to the top of the Ninety Mile Beach today: Ocean Grange, looking inland.

Nothing like a day trip to EMD on a Dash 8-400 (Thursday)

The new runway at BNE

Getting up close and personal to the undercarriage

Not far as the crow flies from Paynesville where I lived when I was three. Later when we had moved back to the area we used to go out in the cousins’ speedboat around there.

For those that haven’t seen EMD airport, this was my office for 15 mins on arrival and 50 for departure (inbound delayed but no announcement - I checked FR 24 and knew where it was). 1 line for security and ion scan - I’m sure they get a number of positives a week.

Not my office just yet but the ship we are travelling to Alaska in is berthed in Sydney. They do not have prime berth.

Looks like it’s at White Bay not the OPT so people will need to get into the city somehow as there is almost no public transport there. Because it is a small ship it would’ve fitted under the bridge.

Ah. Got my perspective wrong! Agree it’s the awful place to Berth. Did a cruise with mum from there. Going under the bridge was fun though.

Our February cruise on the Silver Muse Goes out from White Bay - we are looking forward to sailing undef the Bridge !!

It's the ground side that is difficult. My brother does passport checks there and talks about access issues. Sailing under the bridge of course is another matter entirely.

Sydney Olympic Park last night as the super cell came through. It went from fine to dark skies to almost zero visibility in minutes. This was when it had cleared a little. Massive amounts of water on the road. And some poor soccer fans caught in it too.

DFW last night from the SkyTrain.

Not much wind this morning so time to change the flag on APH. Last time I posted some pics I’d missed the action on top. Took about half an hour or so.

Nearly there, going up.

Up on top now and flag nearly down

And packed away

Up the new one goes

A bit of perspective and yes, there’s a person in that little white cage

On the way down

And nearly back

Next photo we want to see, is from inside the man-hoist looking out!
