Laundy's at the back of Ocean Beach Hotel on the corner of West Street and Trafalgar. The pub itself is 1920s I think. There's a photo of the front here.

Went past this place weeks ago. Got a sunny picture of it this time. It's one of the few fifties houses I've seen so far without major external change.

It was pretty dark this morning but it cleared for a while around lunchtime. Went off to the doctor to have a whinge then walkies after. By then it was clouding over again and got dark enough I had to lighten the photos below.

This one looks pretty normal from this angle. Looks like it's facing the wrong way but otherwise it's only the paint job I'm not loving. The bit of road you can see in the left foreground is actually a metalled lane and one of the ones I walked today.

From this angle it looks weird. Don't know if they took a window out and enlarged the other one or what. Also, seeing the paintjob in its full glory makes me want to pluck out my eyes.

This one's neat and tidy but the large windows make it clunky and it'll deteriorate fast if they don't fix the eaves in the middle.

Quiet little place that probably looked more exciting before those seventies windows went in.


(Big version)

Fairly boring fifties place that probably looked much better with its original windows.


(Big version)

Rather pleasant place with fifties-looking colours. Even with cladding and that front window it still looks pretty good.

This lot (galahs) and a dozen rainbow lorikeets were twittering in someone's backyard as I walked down a lane. The lorikeets took off but the galahs just kept eating.

Got dribbled on by a young but orally-incontintent dog and my feet hurt after a week of no walkies but it was good to get back out there. Bring on autumn's cold mornings!
