Bet the Socceroo’s would LOVE to get a score line anywhere NEAR this distant memory right about now. A nice video with some dry witty commentary to round out the farce that was Australia playing these Pacific Island nations in order to qualify for the Football World Cup.
Have to say though…
I think if I lived
HERE then I wouldn’t be
overlystressed about losing a game of soccer either.

Just a couple of rough-and-ready phonecam panoramas I made while walking along on Saturday arvning. Everytime I go there I tell myself "I’m NOT going to take any photo’s today…" but most of the time that’s not how it ends up. There’s always something that catches my eye. Most of the time I only have the trusty Motorola V3i along for the trip. Hence the proliferation of phonecam panoramas here on WD.
Wondering exactly where these pics were created…?
I didn’t think so. But just in case you
were click
HERE for a map.

This is some video taken with the WD digicam on a stormy and freezing cold Sunday afternoon at Pt Leo. Air temperature was a chilly nine degrees C with a biting wind of 25-30km/h coming in from due south made it even colder. The water was actually the warmest place to be.
Indeed there were some brave surfing souls who ventured out to catch the waves and feel the invigoration of the icy winter weather. Did I mention it was also showering with rain on and off. Talk about COLD 
Here is a MAP of the locations.

This is some content created on my beach walk Sunday 27th May. Would have taken more but the batteries on the digicam decided to die suddenly. So this was all I got. This first one is your garden variety panorama pic. Nothing spectacular. The wrong time of the day for that kind of thing. It was interesting to note how the recent rains have greened up the dune vegetation considerably in the last few weeks. And the winter seaweed has started to arrive also. As always here on WD, you can Click The Pic to view the larger version.
The next item below is a short one minute video of a duck that was swimming about and "
fishing" amongst the seaweed in the shallows a bit further along the beach. I’ve seen these ducks swimming at this beach many times, but this was the first time I had a digicam with me to capture the action. You can click
HERE to view a map of the area showing the exact spots where this all took place.
