Sydney, New South Wales 2014
Watsons Bay is where Governor Phillip first landed in Australia. It's also recognised as Australia's oldest fishing village, having been established in 1788.
The Bay is famous for being the home of the first Doyles Restaurant. The site on which the restaurant now stands is where Doyle originally sold his daily fish catch in 1845.
Watsons Bay is located on the southern head of the entrance to Sydney Harbour. To the east is the Tasman Sea and to the west is the Harbour with a glorious view of the city of Sydney in the distance.

We arrived on Anzac Day, stayed at Cremorne, visited Manly and Watsons Bay. Friend's birthday party. Fun weekend :-) It rained when we arrived and when we left but in between there were some spectacular moments.

Broadwater is a small town in the Richmond Valley local government area, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. In 2006, the town had a population of 463 people. It is on the Pacific Highway.
The history of Broadwater has largely revolved around its sugar mill. In 1863 Henry Cook and Alexander MacDonald became the first people to select land in the area. To begin with, sugar was grown and crushed on the small private farms in the region.
The Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) opened the town's sugar mill in 1880. In the early days sugar cane was grown as far up the Richmond River as the town of Bexhill and was carried to the mill on punts. In 1978 CSR sold the mill to the newly formed New South Wales Sugar Milling Cooperative, which established its head office at Broadwater.
Today Broadwater is the centre of the region's highly mechanised sugar industry, which is still a major employer. In recent years the area has also seen an influx of new settlers, attracted by its peaceful rural lifestyle.

Monochrome version in the note on this image :-) The original had a really bright blue sky so I toned it down.

We were able to take advantage of the skiing in the Snowy Mountains, only a few hours drive from Canberra. In the background is Gunbarrel Express, detachable quad chairlift completed in 1988.

At last we went to Cape Hawke Lookout. Fabulous views from the 8 metre high tower there. Very windy day, with the tower swaying slightly. Looking towards Forster, One Mile Beach, and Tuncurry, Nine Mile Beach.

NSW, Australia
Black Head is composed of Devonian mudstones, however unlike its neighbour Red Head, the name does not refer to the colour of the rock, but rather the Irish birthplace (Black Head Antrim) of the first settler William Hoy who moved to Black Head NSW around 1881.
