I mentioned before in a previous article that I had some more photos taken during the 1988 flooding. Here’s the best of the shots including a couple of ‘panoramic’ ones taken on the beach and a series of very dramatic ones taken from the air. I don’t know who to credit for these photos, if the photographer would like to be credited, please contact me.

If you are in any of the photos, what about leaving some comments about what you remember of that day?

Here’s the photos - read more…

Well, not quite - but have you popped down to see the amount of sand that’s been scoured from the beach yet?

My guess it was during the very high tides on 23rd & 24th of this month (both were over 2 metres). It will be interesting to see what happens if we get a king tide and high river levels during winter this year as the gap between the river and the sea is getting to within a few metres now at high tide! Here’s some photos - read more…

This gallery is some taken by me around 2005 - 2006 at different times of the year that shows how different the ‘Heads can look from season to season. That’s about all the local scenery shots I have at present, but again - if you have some to share, especially of other than the beach and river - please do contact me and I can arrange to either get them from you as an email attachment or I could scan the originals if they are printed.

This first gallery is of some of the best ‘Heads photos that I’ve taken over the last few years with my trusty (but aging) Olympus UZ750 digital.

If you have some photos please do get in touch with me and I’ll add them to the growing collection. It would be great especially to have some photos taken a few years ago.
