Marina

Shipwright Bay, Blakehurst on the Georges River. Lots of very pricey real estate around here, as with all of Sydney's waterways. The mansion in the background last sold for about $10 million I think.

    My kind of photo! The buildings seem awfully close to the water, too. What a dream place in which to live!

    When I was growing up my father had a boat at Blakehurst Marina, that shot brings back a lot of memories. It's still a pretty place I see, although it's odd not to see the River a murky brown like it was most of the time in the 80s, I guess there is a positive side of droughts.

    Just found your blog - I love the Georges River, although I live at the murkier end near Picnic Point! Nice pics....

    wow! that's a lot of millions for me!

    You know, in Spain we had water restrictions last summer. This yearI think it will be quite different, because it has rained a lot. I hope there you were so lucky too!

    It's so nice to see water, coastlines and rivers in your blog. We are mainly a coastal community in Australia and even though we have the outback, this is what portrays us. I couldn't be as happy if I was remote from water.
    Lovely shot.

    Tks for the very thoughtful post on Cpt Cook etc. I liked the sandstone shots.

    Now regarding your comments today on R.u.T...may I say that for "one so young" you are clearly OK in the brain department. As for myself....why is it that even today I can still remember those lyrics even though I was only 13!! That's worrying.

    One of the oronies is that this is "unfashionable" waterside Sydney - the southern suburbs are not regarded as being anywhere on the "social scale". Sydney is a highly socially/economically segmented city.

    This is unfashionable?! Wow, and I thought California real estate was outrageous!

    Lovely pic, Sally!
    The price of real estate here is staggering. Unfortunately it's just as bad everywhere else. Prices have rocketed in Noumea in the past five years, with a slight slump this year so patterns seem fairly similar.
