The view from my "office"

[QF WP]

My views in the last 20 minutes - a lovely constitutional along the beach does wonders for the soul (pun intended). Now to head back for a cuppa with my father, breakfast and Conference Day 2

Piha Beach?

 

[docjames]

So am I. I'm surprised the decline (tunnel) is off the very bottom of the open cut. Many years ago there was a fatality in Australia when there was a big rainfall and a mud rush in such a circumstance, and the whole lot flowed down the decline killing a couple of people in there. I thought there was a reg these days forbidding declines at the very bottom of open cuts.

Yeah but how long has the pit been there - probably "grandfathered".

Not a great deal of rain generally in Cobar either (although not downplaying the safety risk).

Piha Beach?

We have ourselves a winner here!

Heyy if you're still there,

Take a drive up Scenic Drive and turn left and go down to Bethells Beach. "Te Henga"

Worthwhile, Piha without the people, serene, rugged and beautiful.

(when u get to the water, turn right and go over the sand dune to O'neills bay.)

Freakin' awesome !....there's a path that goes up to the top of the cliffs where you overlook the beach and bay from maybe 100m or so, TRUELY MAJESTIC !

Shhhhhh......, don't tell anyone ;-)

Certainly a better view than that of my back yard at the moment

I played cricket on that beach many years ago. I remember the bounce was straight and true and I put a hook shot over the beach break. The fielder nearly drowned getting the ball.

Man was that water rough there.

I remember a Tornado skimming across the sea and rising up over the escarpment near Polperro some years ago - we only saw it coming at the last moment so it was a real shock and awe moment!

It's easy with practice! Welsh great aunt of Cheshire friends would not let us leave her house until we were fluent from memory!
