[Matt]

Went for lunch at Merimbula today (as you do) and had a bit of a whale watching adventure on the way - see pics below.

This is what appears to be someone's private strip just south of Narooma...nice spot!

Great pictures there Matt:clap:. That private strip looks good and you could always put a nice cross strip in there as well!

Thanks Chris, nothing better than whipping across to the coast and down to Merimbula for the day and makes for some great photo opportunities. We see whales pretty regularly on the tripdown there, these are the best photos we've been able to get...Karen (my wife and navigator) is actually the photographer though, so I won't claim credit for her shots...

 

Cheers,

 

Matt.

I know this place. I have passed it by road. My cousin for some reason thinks that it's some sort of CIA base. It's always kept locked and there is an American flag flying on the property.

 

I don't know.

Now the cats out of the bag... you're going to have sunglassed men in BLACK suits knocking on your door at midnight...;)

 

Love the pix... brilliant.

I believe Mel Gibson has property on the Sth Coast, maybe that's it ... certainly the right calibre block of dirt.

I imagine there would be some big storms rolling in there on that property right on the coast...beautiful spot though;) My favourite shots are the one you took of the tail :big_grin: and the one with the wing tip and the whale....AWESOME!!

The tail shotwould look great as a poster..

 

Ian, the sky space could be used as a text area for a headline or story in THE magazine..
