We have it in Batemans Bay, I walked it a few times, The Marina to Cbd and return, about 5 km. On every Saturday morning, they only get 50 or so. A good concept. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Les - I ran my 262nd last weekend - have been doing it most Saturdays for 9 years now- we get about 200 on average at our local event. I am 76 now so only slow jog it these days - Cliffy Young style 🙂 ( but he was only 61 in his heyday). I don't come across many in my age group who do it - we have an 80+ lady who walks it every Saturday without fail - I think she has done 350 x 5Ks now. Just wondered if anybody here does it - it can sometimes be surprising who does Edited February 26 by bazzaw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted February 28 #6604 Share Posted February 28 (edited) For you people on cruises stopping at Eden, they are making some cafes out of containers at the wharf. I might be going down there in a few weeks, will get a pic. Edited February 28 by NSWP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let you know a week or so before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay strong and jeep that quirky sense of humour😉 And how are things across the vast ocean, Lyle? All is well thanks Linda. I had the squamous cell carcinoma removed from my nose yesterday. It was a simple procedure is far as surgery goes, less than 10 minutes. It did bleed more than I expected and is still quite tender. I am a little shy about pain killers because they are also blood thinners and I really don't want to bleed a bunch. I was off yesterday and decided this morning to take today as well, it was still quite tender and the plaster was soaked through with blood. I will try to get back to work tomorrow. We continue to firm up the plans for our cruise in August/September which will include a couple days in Boston before the cruise and couple nights in Montreal after as well as a train trip to Ottawa for a couple nights before we come home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it's all done. The bleeding and tenderness should hopefully settle very soon. Fingers crossed for you. No surgery is pleasant, is it? Your trip sounds very exciting; it's such a beautiful and historic part of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea to spend time in Boston, Montreal and Ottawa before and after your cruise. Have you visited before? There is so much to see and do in these interesting historic cities. What ship is your cruise and ports of call? Hope your nose is feeling better today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we I haven't been to any of the places on this trip, Lynn has been to Ottawa but other than that it's a new adventure (other than Vancouver which doesn't count, we just need to change planes there). The cruise itinerary starts in Boston, and the ports are Portland Maine, St. John New Brunswick, Halifax Nova Scotia, Cornerbrook Newfoundland, Charlottetown PEI, Saguenay Quebec, Quebec City Quebec and Montreal Quebec. We will be cruising in Zaandam. Edited March 9 by Blackduck59 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pic, Les. They usually anchor off Casey’s. Yes, it’s a massive sandbar. Get ready for the Canberra Day long weekend invasion😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our daughter is going down with her family. We tend to visit during quieter times, these days. How's your Kimberley cruise going? I think the scenery would be spectacular.
