Heavy machinery needed three times in the past year to rid Towradgi Pool of sand

Towradgi Rock Pool is scheduled to be cleaned as soon as tide, sea and swell conditions permit.  AS locals know only too well, sand movement has been a major challenge at Towradgi Rock Pool over the past 12 months. Wollongong City Council’s specialised rock pool crew have needed to use heavy machinery three times in the past year to empty out the pools. Right now, Council is preparing to empty…

Environmentalist, Bicycle NSW friend and Arup transport planner Ed Forrester first decided to try cycling from Manly to Sydney’s CBD on National Ride to Work day last October. He had previously thought that the ride was unachievable due to a lack of safe infrastructure on congested roads, the topography and his low skill level as a rider. However, Ed’s opinion did a full 180 when he gave it a go.  Mountain bike shop near me

Cycle store near me I avoid Sydney Road and travel along Lauderdale Avenue and over the Ethel Street bridge to reach Seaforth. The shared path is unsuitable for faster cycling as it’s narrow, has blind corners and is popular with pedestrians and families with prams. Because of this I cycle on the road. The route is low-trafficked, so I don’t feel unsafe. A slight annoyance is bin day with bins placed on the narrow shared path instead of curb side. The views from Seaforth are the highlight of the ride! Bicycle store near me

fortitude valley, honesty, boygenius

january 24th - the tuesday night after the first two dates of the first ever grenade jumper headline tour.

god the towradgi beach hotel is tragic. it looks like a primary school hall & the sound is about as muffled as one too. playing to the other band and their girlfriends is character building. that show was one of the roughest I've ever played but honestly, it didn't sting as much as others that were technically not *as* bad. we listened to rush's moving pictures on the way home in the rain, before getting 2hrs sleep ahead of a flight to Brisbane.

why is sydney airport always so humid. we had fun in Brisbane. we rode scooters (like every other band ever has done) and sat in a nondescript metro station and drank boost. innocent.

the show was okay. greaser bar is actually really cool and kind of looks like a setting from ten things i hate about you or empire records. but yeah, the show wasn't amazing and it wasn't horrible. which kind of sucks. i'd rather it be so painstakingly horrible. what is horrible though is the fortitude valley on a 33 degree Saturday night in January.

i'm not purposefully bah humbug about the rest of Australia, but it's just really difficult to stay positive when the tarocash brigade is knocking your prada nylon out of your hand in the oppressive humidity while waiting for an uber xl. brisbane is a country town.

over this weekend boygenius returned.

boygenius feels revolutionary. they feel like they've existed for decades. i know the whole point of the Rolling Stone cover was to place them within the pantheon of the Greats, but it does genuinely feel like this band exists within that realm already, they're so important.

A SOCIAL club, made-up of coal miners, caused a national stir in 1939 when they set-up camp at what was dubbed ‘Froth Blowers Retreat’ at Towradgi Beach, just north of Wollongong in the Illawarra region of NSW, for 15 days of beer drinking, sport – and more beer drinking – over the Christmas holidays. The Save Yourself Club was formed by Corrimal identity, sportsman, and coal miner, Pat Curran in 1935. The club was set-up as a social group for Corrimal coal miners. Besides regular sporting and social events, members camped on Towradgi Beach, trying to break their previous year’s beer drinking efforts. In 1939, 75-year-old ‘keg man’, Joe King (pictured), was kept busy supplying the beer in his horse and dray to Towradgi Beach, where the 15 miners drank 600 gallons (2,727 Litres) of beer over 15 days, reportedly breaking a world record. That’s about 55 modern-day kegs of beer between the 15 men over the period of about two weeks, or just over three kegs a day! Story at The Time Gents website: (via Coal miners' world beer drinking record: 15 men drink 600 gallons of beer in 15 days!)
