Look out David Attenborough

Thanks to the uninvited vistors of a week or two ago we now have a whole bunch of new stuff. Two TVs, laptop upon which I am currently typing, iPod and camera.
The old Olympus has been replaced with a Nikon which does some remarkable things - including time lapse videos.

Check it out... This is our fire the other night.



The video runs at 30 frames a second and the minimum exposure rate is every 30 seconds so it take while to get even a few seconds of video but what larks.

I took Friday, Monday and Tuesday off and we had one night in the old Quarantine Station at North Head. I am sure those who found themselves "locked up" there would agree that there can be fewer more pleasant places to be isolated.



The buildings have been retained but modernised and are quite beautiful, cars are not allowed into the complex. The car park is well outside the old Quarantine Station and a shuttle bus and valet parking system operate. All very nice with a restaurant right on the water, cool the night we were there but it would be lovely on a summer's evening.
