is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. We had so much fun just taking the ferries wherever, walking the nearby neighborhoods, picnicking in the Botanical Gardens (with cockatoos and flying foxes overhead!).
I want to go back.
by JoeW on Wed Jan 16, 2008 at 06:15:25 AM PDT
You just brought back many fond memories. We went to Sydney last year and I just loved it. THe Cockatoos in the Royal Botanical Gardens were a trip!

lighthouse in Sydney? I used to play frisbee on the grounds there with my two border collies.
by Asinus Asinum Fricat on Wed Jan 16, 2008 at 07:32:05 AM PDT
Oh Yes, I did. Unfortunetly it was a gray clody day so I did not get the desired contrast in the Pic. but I had planned on posting those at some point. Loved the Setting/View from that Lighthouse. Do have one uploaded of one of the Lights in Sydney Harbour though I've been unable to determine its name though a Web Search, would you possibly know?

I'm not be inspired but the answer to your question is yes. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and look forward to the day when the flu is completely gone.

I know you've been working hard and not in the best of weather conditions. Looks like soberboy is on a roll. Thanks for the location link. I'm gradually feeling better, Christian still has remenants of the Flu but is ahead of me on feeling more Human. If anyone ever wonders why I don't jump out of the Posts I make it is because it is easier for me to manage, I still have some Stroke related issued regarding organization & memory. It is just easier for me. Cheers & Hugs,Ed (Hopefully, this will help you forget the snow)

I see sobermom already answered the question, though. Nauset Light is in Eastham, MA on Cape Cod, at the National Seashore. It used to be closer to the beach than it is now, but was moved across the road to save it from the encroaching ocean.
