26/11/2007: "SEAVIEWS GALORE ...... Our former Sydney lifestyle"

Every room and every window had a sea view. That's Curl Curl Beach and sea baths below.

My partner Jocelyn doing what she did best. She is a terrific cook and remains a favorite friend today.

It was good lifestyle supported by my underwater film show in far away cinema's.

Six weeks in Queensland, working Maryborough to Cairns earned us a year's wages.

Impossible to repeat today. Cinema's are smaller. Plenty of shark film on TV too.

On a calm day it was a dream being able to take advantage of the weather while living close to the sea. A few abalone and sometimes a lobster could be found in the shallows below.

I lived here for six years. It was a bit of a spoil.

The downside was rust. Worse for the houses at sea level below. Mist would roll in at night with the sea air speeding up recycling of cars and any exposed metal.

Salt would coat the windows every few days and especially when the sea was rough, even this high up.

I would never consider close to a beach. OK for a holiday though.
