International Children's games opening, Lac Macquarie, last night.

I'm not often in the mosh pit

Yeah no. We are supposed to be on the verge of the great leap forward.

Outer suburb. Still life with retro car, take-away - burgers, fish and chips etc (with 'non-traditional', whatever that is, shop keepers,)  and remnants of a post office site. Fish and chip shops were often operated by people of Mediterranean descent but those older generations have retired, or by Anglos. 

Toronto and Lake Macquarie on a winter Sabbath afternoon.

In Toronto by Lake Macquarie
To the person who may be interested in a link: would they leave a comment here to backup the story.

A trio of old houses on the waterfront at Lake Macquarie is/are for sale. Going Going Gone!
From Mark's Point they have wide views of the lake.

The location, Pelican, on Lake Macquarie where a rainstorm was approaching me.
One only pelican drifted by at Pelican. No swans were seen at nearby Swansea or Swan Bay. Instead, they had adopted Village Bay at Mark's Point.

Cabbage Tree Palms are found in a remnant of thick coastal 'jungle' that borders the suburb of Pelican close to the shores of Lake Macquarie.
