Warringah Council, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, have spent time and money remembering the contribution made to Manly-Warringah by the former Manly Lines of Sydney's extenstive tramway system.
In their heyday Manly's trams ran from Manly Wharf to both The Spit and Narrabeen, the latter 16 miles from Sydneys GPO.
There were even plans to extend the line even further north to Mona Vale and and Pittwater but sadly this was not to be.
Sadly the Manly Lines closed on 1 October 1939.
Just an uninspired snapshot.
Felt like staring at my own shadow for a while.
Hope whatever it is i felt has momentarily left returns soon.
My mother and father, Ray and Flora Wright, taken on 27 January 1969. Mum and Dad are seen leaving their home at Dee Why on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. We were off for a day out in the city. We took a bus to the city, where I was scheduled to serve the 8 a.m. Mass at St Patrick’s Church in Grosvenor Street. During 1969, I served the 8 a.m. Mass every weekday morning at St Patrick’s and also the Benediction on Wednesday and Friday evenings. I worked at nearby Circular Quay at the time. Following Mass, we saw the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore comedy movie “Bedazzled” at the Town Cinema in Pitt Street near Town Hall and then had lunch. It was a lovely day.
Parasailing off Dee Why Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches on Jan 13 2016. It is a warm and clear day for flying with a good breeze.
Thanks Ralph the pilot for the show.
Sunday morning glow, morning swimmers, sunrise worshippers, instagram snappers.
Dee Why Ocean Pool.

This pretty much epitomises Aussies and their love for the water. Approximately 90% of the population lives on the coastal fringe. Come rain, hail or shine, our beaches are usually filled with either surfers, boarders, or just folk swimming between the flags. This shot was taken in the middle of winter on a day when the surf was pounding in.
Hydrofoils were first introduced on Sydney Harbour way back in January 1965 and operated between Circular Quay and Manly. They were a well-known and popular feature of the Harbour in those days and the trip took 15 minutes. This service finally finished up in March 1991 when the NSW State Transit Authority replaced these vessels with the jetcats - which now of course also no longer operate.
These photos depict one trip from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf aboard the hydrofoil Dee Why. It's a weekday afternoon in Winter and the weather is fine and clear.
The photos - 38 in total - were all taken on the one full roll of colour transparency film (Kodak Ektachrome I think in this particular case), and would have all been taken within 15 or so minutes of one another. They record the one single trip to Manly and are included here complete and unabridged.
As Dee Why approaches Manly Wharf, it turns out the hydrofoil Fairlight is still alongside, and we thus have to wait a minute or two for her to depart. Fairlight then reverses out of the way at an unusual angle in order to allow us to come in to the hydrofoil pontoon and dock.
