Looking from Terrigal Beach to The Basin

Too busy yesterday to add these to my blog

Thanks -Icon Images - Bondi Beach, Australia

These pictures came from the Sydney newspaper, The Daily Telegraph's social page, Sydney Confidential. It was a lovely sight to see after watching the flood coverage from Brisbane.

A great $1 investment.

=========================

I am sitting here watching the #qldflood coverage and I can't believe speed of the water STILL flowing down the streets on its way to the Pacific Ocean. Householders are getting lots of help from volunteers to remove damaged furniture, mud and debris from their homes.

I will try to get along to see some of these films.

Beaches along the eastern seaboard of Australia were closed today because of the Earthquake in Chile and the resulting Tsanami that was thought may have some impact on the local beaches.

So while I was running errands today,

I went along to The Entrance Beach to take some photos.

Stairway to the beach

Beach closed due to Tsanami warning

as a result of Chile earthquake.

Lifesavers sitting around feeling bored, the beach is usually crowded on a Sunday morning. Lots of stickybeaks driving down to the Central Coast beaches but all they are seeing is flat surf - low tide.

My dogs have started to yap as there is some local thunder, we have had quite a few thunder/lightning storms this summer and the dogs and cat have become very jittery.

A lazy day today, lots to do

but because of my sore shoulder I have to take it easy.

I am still waiting for my annual leave to be approved I sent it in over a month ago but because my supervisor was on leave for 3 weeks, she is only now attending to it ... not happy...because now others in my team have put in request for their leave now. Cross fingers she processes by date not top of pile.

Yeh! I know I'm having a whinge but my leave is for the Christmas and New Year weeks, we get so much tourist traffic over this period plus Christmas shoppers that it is quite stressful to drive in amongst them ... especially near the beachs as the tourists tend to rubber-neck and potter. lol

I drive over that small bridge, at the bottom
of the photo, each day to get to work,

Avoca Beach

A couple of times a week I visit clients here

Copacabana (Central Coast))

and here also.

Shelly Beach (Central Coast)

This beach is up the road from where I live.

Sydney Harbour Surfers

The beaches up along the east coast of Australia have been closed because of bad weather -flooding, strong winds and huge swells which have made bad surfing conditions ... so our intrepid surfers have sought protected areas of the coast in which to exercise their pent up energy.

Emerald Beach

I spend my holiday time in Emerald Beach and go there quite often and I will be heading up there for the New Year celebrations to spend time with my sister and her husband. Emerald Beach is a lovely old fashion coastal village it hasn't changed much in the 15 years I have been holidaying.

These photos of North and South Copa
were taken within minutes of each other.
