Wands, this might sound geeky but I don't know those places (place?). I know the name of the place where I took the pic. You may be right but those are local names. Give me a hint.

Re: where am i on aussie coast ?

I'd say volcanic, or Brisbane metamorphic. Pandanus palm is a bit of a giveaway. Looks like cyclonic swell on the Sunny Coast....outer edge of Noosa; Hells gates? Steve OK. Here's the thing. Your comment about the pandanus palm made me look more closely at the pic. My original shows the pandanus bu...

Re: where am i on aussie coast ?

It's generic Hawkesbury sandstone and generic east coast heathland (banksia) scrub. Thank you puurri. I look at a picture like that and think 'that describes just about every bit of coastline I know from Bega to, well somewhere north coast NSW." Not a distinguishing feature in it for me. I don't th...

Re: where am i on aussie coast ?

spookies-angas. Thanks Wanto, didn't know it had a name (probably didn't then) but that fits. We used to go out there on 9' + boards with no leg ropes - not when it was that big though. That morning (midweek) I surfed the point overhead and alone for nearly 2 hours. It was the third or fourth day o...

Re: where am i on aussie coast ?

OK. YOu've all done very well, but no cigar. Although the Newcastle - Coffs option got close. Hint. This pic was taken the same day (1968) about 50 meters inland. Sorry about the quality. They are digital photos of slides. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/TrevG27/2008_1215Pics4May0055.jpg Thi...

Re: Travel camera - SE Asia

I have had a Fuji S5800 for the last year and can't fault it as a point and shoot. Pics are fine. There's a new model out now which is 10mp (instead of 8 ) around $300+
10 X optical zoom and 5 X digital zoom + 50X. You need a tripod at this zoom level though.

It's sort of under our City....Have you been through the Bare Island fort. Plenty of history there and some good stories as well.

I'm a breast stroker, too.
BB, now????

Seriously, if my board is close by, a short, sharp,overarm sprint will get me to it. If I have to catcha wave, overarm it is.
But for any distance, definitely breast stroke.
