Art IS civilization. It’s a measure of how advanced or not society has become. Thus, when I see a new gallery opening up I should be pleased. I’m not. Not all the art at Circular Quay is bad How many millions were spent on the new North Wing of the N.S.W. Art Gallery and howContinue reading ” THE GALLERY”

I MUST GO DOWN TO THE SEA AGAIN….AND AGAIN
Once you’ve fallen in love with the ocean, there’s no chance of divorce, or separation even. The magnetic attraction remains, fluctuating in its intensity maybe, but constantly present. With the news that a significant swell was running, stood up by offshore breezes, I had to go and have a look. Kiama, after all, is famousContinue reading “I MUST GO DOWN TO THE SEA AGAIN….AND AGAIN”
THE HEATHLAND – BEYOND HOLLYWOOD
Having researched the location I picked something I would remember, Hollywood Street, no boulevard here. The street I wanted was two past that. I’d chosen not to use google maps in order to save batteries, don’t want to run low while I’m taking photographs. The Princes Highway was busy despite lockdowns so I gratefully turnedContinue reading “THE HEATHLAND – BEYOND HOLLYWOOD”
WITH FRONDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ANEMONES
“What’s that blue thing?” People had texted me after I sent the photo out. Truth is, that’s exactly what I said when I saw it. The Eight-armed Sea Star (Meridiastra calcar) is, according to some sites, quite common and its colours can vary greatly. It’s omnivorous so living in a rock pool offers many opportunities,Continue reading ” WITH FRONDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ANEMONES”
LIFE ON THE ROCKS
I’d picked up some lunch from Bakers Delight. A cold pizza and an almond scroll to be precise. Now, while the westerly invaded every space, a rocky perch was found with a modicum of protection and I sat down to savour the sea; to become immersed in its rhythms, to see foam lurching above theContinue reading “LIFE ON THE ROCKS”

BEYOND SNAPPER POINT
A large swell wrecks itself on the point and spume reaches for the sky carrying the fine salt spray that drifts into my face
BOMBO ROCKS – IT CERTAINLY DOES!
It’s day two of Kiama excursions. I’ve made the decision to come again because of Bombo Rocks and the thought of watching some more pounding swells. Stumbling onto Bombo on the internet and later being urged by Lorraine had been too much, the lure had succeeded. After hooking up my bike on the rack inContinue reading “BOMBO ROCKS – IT CERTAINLY DOES!”
A SWELL DAY OUT
The train rolled out of Bomaderry. I’d been planning to do this but had put it on the backburner. So far back I’d forgotten but a cancellation had put it back on the agenda. That, and the fact the swell was up. I was Kiama bound. The countryside was a feast for the eyes. VerdantContinue reading “A SWELL DAY OUT”
