Grayton Transit Authority - way ahead of its time. Can you guess the year?

This is the view from hubby's apartment of the sunrise in Australia. I am not a morning person and neither is our daughter, but we all get up to see the sunrise when we're there. I pop into the restaurant next door, grab some coffee, and just enjoy the beauty of nature. Then we have breakfast, hubby goes to work, and we go back to sleep. LOL.

I've never been there in their summer (which is our winter), but hubby says it's really beautiful when people are out on their sailboats.

BTW photo was taken with a cell phone.

Well, thank you! I know you love sunrises and sunsets.

Plus these rainbow lorikeets have nests in the trees along the shore of the bay. When we saw them flying around in the wild, we just couldn't believe it! They are absolutely gorgeous.

See the direction that the boats face? That tells you what the temp is gonna be like. Hubby's apartment faces east. If the anchored boats point north, it means that the winds are coming in from the north, the outback, so it's warm. If they point south, it means that the winds are coming in from the south, Antartica, so it gets cold. It can change several times a day. For example, today the high was 74 F. Tomorrow the high will be 100 F. Crazy.

Why do so many people anchor their boats? Because it's cheaper than paying for a slip at the marina.

Hubby says that in the summer in Oz (which is now), there are daily sailboat races in the huge bay. Aussies are big beer drinkers. They watch the races and drink James Boag (a Tasmanian beer) while watching the races.

TMI but I think this is very interesting (how weather dramatically changes there) and I'm bored.
