A view from Araluen Drive to Hardys Bay Parade. Very restful spot with the sound of water slapping on boats and the seagulls all gone to Woy Woy for fish & chips.
Can't resist the combination of a twisty tree and wee boat. Low tide at Araluen Drive.
Early 20th century building with brand new houses on either side. Pretty typical of many Brisbane Water towns and particularly of Hardys Bay. It is not a town in which real estate is hard to sell.
Fifites house and the remains of its former companion. On the other side is an active building site. All of Araluen Drive is prime land, it's all waterfront.

Bustling Downtown Hardys Bay has everything one needs in a town:
waterfront cafes (far right & hidden behind loo)
public loo in which to find companionship (green, end of wharf)
real estate agent for those impulse buys (far right, part of cafe)
bottle shop (behind green & white boat)
street sloping down hill to provide picturesque-ness
glob of brand new units smack dab on waterfront (left of wharf)
quiet old houses to retain charm (left of glob)
public wharf to attract the tourists ("Killcare Street Public Wharf" says the sign)
public boat ramp (left of glob) for the use of locals unwilling to wade through tourists.
And, last but not least, it is but a short row across to the Ettalong pub.
Gotta love you and leave you. Plumber's bringing his plunger over in a sec. Hot it's the cute one this time.

Watch that plumber's suction!
The bastard never came!
Rang me, sounding like he was stuffing down a pie, said he'd be there in 5 minutes and the prick never showed!
When he eventually comes, next Wednesday no doubt, I'll tell him he's fat.
That's if he can fit through your door!
I shall coolly watch him struggle through then curl my lip at him. That'll learn him.
