I moved to the Northern Beaches 12 years ago. Albeit to Dee Why, the Blacktown of the Northern Beaches. There is zero chance that I’m leaving.

Yep the spit is the pits!! Keep in mind (depending on the state government that gets in) there’s also the possibility of the Northern Beaches Tunnel which would bypass the Spit/Military Rd and run from Balgowlah all the way to The Warringah Freeway just before the Harbour Tunnel.

Still a long way off though.

Yes will probably be finished in 2035.

Mate, Dee Why has transformed in the last 5 years, particularly the beachfront. Good buying I’d say as you would be sitting on plenty of equity.

Gary, if you’re looking at Manly, then make a couple of trips down. One on a crappy day and then one on a great day for tourists. Chalk and cheese.

2026 according to this (although that seems a pipe dream at this stage):

“Subject to planning approvals and finalisation of financing and procurement arrangements, the NSW Government expects construction of both the Beaches Link and Western Harbour Tunnel to start in 2020, with both tunnels open to traffic by 2026.”

Here is what a perfectly healthy flower would look like. Just so you can compare Gary.

North Curly I could run with. Something nice on Headland Rd.

Gary, have you considered any of those great, traditional rugby league suburbs like Newtown, Annandale or Glebe? Just super into their rugby league. You’d really like it there

I agree about Manly. If you can live walking distance to the wharf, it would be a great way to get to work and offer a great lifestyle. Driving to work via Spit Road (or on the bus if the ferry isn’t running) would be a nightmare however.

Parkings a nightmare as is public transport. Inner west is best for a cnetral location and transport that but yes the planes can be loud. My doors shake.

 

[eels81236]

Yes. Westie lesson number 1 I learnt. Don’t drive to Manly catch the bus.

I still remember Frank Burge’s 8 tries in the match against University like it was yesterday.

I’m glad someone finally worked out my real motivation.

Dad and Dave make some nice stuff.

Modus Operandi in Mona Vale are brilliant.

I was just going to mention that one. You beat me to it.

There are a couple more micro breweries in Brookvale too (other than 4 Pines). Nomad and 7th Day. I haven't tried them. I am boring and don't appreciate the nuances of craft beers.I just drink normal stuff

I’m not a big pub person these days but I reckon if I lived down there I’d go to MO most weekends to get a cheeky growler fill.

Sure does...as does Brookvale, Newport and the Manly Ferry. Not a terrible pub crawl up the beaches.

I had a xxxx yesterday afternoon.

Another euphemism?

By the way, I’ll see you there.
