The Anzac Memorial Walk

I have blipped this before but I had it in mind for a couple of challenges.  First, for Bobsblips Wide Wednesday with an "A" title for the month of August and secondly for the Blip Community Challenge.  It is certainly a place I like to bring out of towners.  It is a raised walkway with tributes to our Anzacs along the way remembering campaigns in WWI.  Not only is it a memorial it is high up and has wonderful 360 views and is part of bathers way. 

To the left is the ocean.  It is a great spot for watching passing whales during the migration., frolicking dolphins and other sea life.  A safe place to watch distant thunderstorms out to sea or shelf clouds as they sweep in.  To the south where you can see some smoke from burning off are the 'burbs  and beaches and to the right and sweeping north is the city and harbour.  The only problem is that it moves a bit with vibration of  even only brisk winds, walkers and runners which makes it a little tricky taking shots in poor light.  The other thing is that it was busier than a David Jones half yearly sale tonight.
