We thought this was busy, as it got closer to 9pm (and the fireworks) there was at least 10 times more people!
Two boys take the Dee Why Coastal Walk along the bluffs of Dee Why Head to reach North Curl Curl Beach. They carry beach towels and swim fins, ready to enjoy the surf. In the distance you can see South Curl Curl Beach. Northern Beaches near Sydney, Australia.

My mother and father, Ray and Flora Wright, taken on 27 January 1969. We had taken 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. Mum and Dad are seen here in the garden courtyard below St Patrick’s. That's a garden bed full of petunias surrounding the statue of St Joseph in the foreground - very colourful in real life. We took the stairs seen here in the background, which led to the sacristy, where a nun can be seen peeking around the corner. Mum and Dad sat in the private pews to the side of the altar, adjoining the sacristy, unseen from the main body of the church. 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.

Dee Why
I still think that Bondai is my favorite beach in Sydney but Dee Why has a really cool walk along the beach. About 2 miles down is a cliff that has a ton of rock pools! This sunset was seriously beautiful!

Stony Range Regional Botanic Garden is a small bushland reserve in the heart of suburban Dee Why in Sydney. Rainforest plants form a background to this large gum tree.
Superb swell coming in from the coast for this local beach of mine located on Sydney's northern beaches
Nigel, Ann, Mac, Simon, Fred, Jemima and Lisa. Mum took the photo. Its great to see everyone together.
Unusually misty Sunday morning at Dee Why beach but still good enough for families and friends to hang out.
Summer is behind us, and the air has a distinct chill to to it. Easter Monday saw crowds enjoying the last of the summer sun before the autumn and winter make beach going unpleasant. To see and witness the last of the summer sun this year I visited Dee Why Beach one of Sydney's northern beaches.
A New Holland Honeyeater with a meal flies over to the tree where I'm standing at in Dee Why Lagoon Nature Reserve in Sydney Australia. Contrary to the shot, these are actually tiny birds only slightly bigger than a sparrow (see the comment with sparrow sitting next to honeyeater)
Was up at 4:30am for a shoot with Mario Bekes, Cathy Adams (3 times Miss Australia - Bodybuilding) & her partner Ian Cameron.
Toned was taken at 5:37am, dark, cool & getting ready for the shoot ahead.
This part of a series of captures from the Dee Why Pool morning shoot.
If you have time please take a look at my Bodies set
Special thanks to Cathy, Ian & Mario for be so amazing this morning : )
BTW, new job is almost killing me & I apologise for not having had the time to visit your photostreams for the last 2 weeks. BTW, for those interested, paid deposit today for my 5D MkII (cracker of a price) + 16-35 f2.8 L Mk II...more waiting begins : (
A bit more of the clever engineering of the time, at DeeWhy woolshed on the Liverpool Plains near Premer, NSW
...when you arrange an early morning shoot & the model's alarm doesn't wake her, what do you do, take sea/landscape shots as you wait...
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.
