Did I hear my name mentioned in vain?

This time, Strike, I volunteer to help for the days that the show is in
progress (also the day before if required) and of course, if so desired,
with the publishing stuff which as you know I can pretty well do in my
sleep.

I can vouch for that - it's the same when people put a wine rack atop a
refrigerator. Tip: DON'T do it.

I did, I did! I did hear my name mentioned in vain. I'd be delighted to
act as organiser/host in this neck of the woods.

May I also strongly suggest Swansea Bridge and Halifax Park, Nelsons Bay
both on the way to Forster? Warning: neither can be dived other than at
the top of the tide, the tide is all-important. That's also why they're
such brilliant dives.

Swansea Bridge is fish/critter soup and Halifax Park is, well, Halifax
Park. They're the two best shore dives that I know of within a ginormous
Cooee of Sydney, a certain beach immediately south of Manly notwithstanding.

Cheers,

Christian
