At work!

It's not "work", just a very enjoyable pastime.

I present a radio program twice a week - two hours on Monday afternoon from 4 - 6 PM and then four hours on Wednesday from noon until 4:00 PM - on our local community radio, TLC 100.3 FM.

So here's a photo of yours truly at the console yesterday, as hits from the 1960s were pouring out into the ether (and streaming on the internet).


By-the-way,  our station premises..........

A little bit of Lismore

We paid a visit to Lismore yesterday - a trip of about 90 km (80 minutes) from Yamba and a very pleasant drive.

One thing we noticed in the part of the town we visited - one of the older parts - was the number of original homes that had been restored or otherwise very well maintained.

It wasn't until we noticed the houses across the road from the address we were visiting that our eyes opened up and we saw that they were everywhere, with the great majority in very nice condition and beautifully presented.



Great examples of how to keep an old town (established around 1855) looking really lovely with the original dwellings.

Panasonic Lumix TZ40 - Panorama function

I hadn't used this clever function until a week or so back so yesterday, when at the little lighthouse in which 2TLC FM 100.3 is located, I switched it on and took the following pic.....

If you click it then it should come up in a larger size.

The object at the left of picture is the water reservoir for Yamba, the operating lighthouse is in the left-background, just beyond the pilot station building. The ochre-coloured house is a holiday residence, once part of the original lighthouse complex and the white building is the replica lighthouse, home to the community radio station.
