Sun was back out today. Went up to Gosford waterfront. Before the railway came through in the 1880s, the wharf end of Mann Street was the happening end of town. There were no sealed roads, stuff and peole came up from Sydney and in from other parts of the Central Coast by boat. Everything was then hoicked up Wharf Road (now Vaughan Avenue) by hand or horse or carried off in private boats.

Ferry wharf off Dane Drive. There's a ferry that does cruises and shit.

Illustrated legal bag & size thingy. Pretty and delicious. Stuck on a bollard on the ferry wharf.

Working boat. She appears to have been registered in Sydney in1964 and is 14.3 metres (46.92 feet) long.

Looks like she picks up all the flotsam and jetsam.
Misquoting Oscar Wilde: To lose one deckchair is unfortunate, to lose two looks like someone was in a drunken rage and threw them overboard.

She looks a bit portly from this angle. Not her most flattering side.

All kitted out for a hard day on the job.

Parked at that restaurant place on the waterfront with all the sails. Possibly it's called Sails.
Anyways, Morgan have been making cars for 70 years now apparently. This model seems to be a 1957 4 4 model. Can't be stuffed trawling for more info on it ATM but there's a very pretty picture of it here.

I know bugger all about hotrods. In the classic cars (i.e., vintage and veteran originals) circles my father hung out in, hotrods were considered bogan cars and therefore knowing anything about them was considered crass.
This one had a Ford badge on the front and a couple of hotrod club stickers on the windscreen. Didn't find any more specific insignia. The instruments looked like the real deal though they could've been repro and I expect they're hooked up to something modern. That's a fuel tank on the front.

It was parked across from the Blacket on Mann Street, Gosford.
