View from the coastal section of Redwood National and State Parks. Seemingly overnight the driftwood has been washed away. Many stretches of the beach are now covered with rocks, not sand.

I was a bit distracted in the last few days with the preparations to the Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Finally most of prep is over and I can post a photo. This one is not a very recent, it is one of the past storms but looks relevant to both #SeaWednesday and TC Alfred.

![Although it is only Spring in Sydney, the weather has been unusually warm for this time of year, hence my trip to Collaroy beach to capture some of its beauty. It is a beautiful beach that I love to visit often.

Narrabeen-Collaroy beach is Sydney's second longest beach. The 3.6 km long beach curves in a gentle east-facing arc between 20 m high Narrabeen Head in the north to rocks and low cliff at Collaroy Point, with beachfront houses and apartments backing much of the beach. The northern Narrabeen end was named after the daughter of the aboriginal chief at the time of early white settlement in the 1840s, while the southern Collaroy end was named after the paddle-wheel steamer 'Collaroy' wrecked on the beach in 1884. Collaroy Beach was a weekenders and campers haven in the early part of the century.

Can you hear it? Look better and I’m sure you will hear it.
Good morning. 
26 January 2025
I'm surprised that I'm awake and alert at this time of the morning. It's just now five-thirty, and I've been up for half an hour, but the coffee is particularly good today.
I recall standing guard in the old days. It was always two hours on and four hours off. It seemed like just as I would fall asleep, the Sergeant-of-the-Guard (SOG) would rouse me from my bunk, and I would find myself standing in what seemed like the middle of nowhere in the cold, often in the rain or snow—it didn't matter. After about an hour, the SOG would return with coffee, which I would drink from my canteen cup. That was a long time ago.
