Donna Nook
Bombing practice targets at Donna Nook, named after a shipwreck from the Spanish Armada, seal breeding ground and a candidate for the flattest place in Britain. No evidence of anyone ever hitting anything - perhaps they don't have to practice so much lately?

cargoes
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

Les Gets
Pretty innit. view from the Mont Chary lift. Blue bit is sky, white bit is mountain. Wispy white bit is cloud (unless it's a blown con trail). Tree shaped bits are trees.

Wollongong
Wollongong harbour, briefly in sunshine and rotated so it doesn't appear to be upside down. Kewl pelicans and surf
