Manly Dam

Published on • Manly-dam

Can’t believe I’ve lived in Manly for over two years and never bothered to venture out to Manly Dam.

It’s a 10 minute drive from Manly but when you’re there it feels like you’re hours outside of Sydney.

It has toilets, BBQ’s, Swimming, boat ramp, Water Skiing, a kids playground, walking tracks, fishing is allowed.

Parking is metered at about $5 an hour but you can park outside the park and walk in.

Will definitely be exploring this place more.

Car Drives Off Cliff at Queenscliff

Published on • Queenscliff

We were woken up last night at about 1:30 AM by a police helicopter, it was circling around and hovering quite low.

Apparently at the end of the street people hand claimed that a car had driven off the cliff.

This morning there were helicopters and police boats around the area looking for the car.

There was fairly large swell today and during the afternoon one of the police boats had become beached on the rocks.

A crowd gathered and news crews arrived to film the event.

Where the car had driven off the cliff there were large waves breaking on the rocks making it difficult for the police divers. Apparently one of the boats had a power issue and needed to be towed, the tow rope snapped and the boat became stuck on the rocks.
