Brush Turkey at the Australian Reptile Park at Somersby, near Gosford NSW.

This proves the dog CAN read. It's just rubbish at spelling.

The old wooden road bridge, the old rail bridge and the current rail bridge (L to R) are beautifully recorded in this photo from 10 July 1967 which was taken, incidentally, during the filming of a very early 'Skippy' episode.

On 23 January 1960, the rail line from Sydney was electrified to Gosford. Here are some photos the day the first electric commuter train came to Woy Woy, which looked substantially different to how it looks today.

Here's the 'BP Garage' ;-) at Dusthole Bay at Berowra Waters, Sydney, NSW. It's very conveniently postmarked in 1980 on the back.

This postcard of Berowra Waters (north side of Sydney) would be from the very early 1970s judging by the cars.

Here are some photos and ads pulled together for the Durris Farm Roadhouse, which was on the Pacific Highway right across from Prings Road at Lisarow/Niagara Park (one for the boundary riders) near Gosford on the NSW Central Coast.
I've no idea when the roadhouse was founded, but no doubt it was part of the post-war motoring boom. The Max Dupain photos of it could be as old as 1948.

The roadhouse had a liquor licence and was open 24 hours. It was often a haven for a late night (/early morning) meal after a night out at Gosford, Ettalong or further afield. It contained one of the very first cappuccino machines on the Central Coast.

The property sat idle for many years from the 1970s, and in 2018 it was demolished to make way for a unit complex behind it, using up part of its footprint.

Jocelyn Jee Essien gave us two hit series called "Little Miss Jocelyn" from 2006. This clip from the first episode had me laughing uncontrollably!

Some tongue-in-cheek and very clever roadside hoardings for Yellow Pages from March 2007 in Israel (which probably explains the "Circumciser" one).

This is a Woy Woy local Fran Kendall (who you may know as Fran Godbold), a local actor, director and choreographer getting four hours at equity rates for a NSW government Road Safety campaign from June 2007 timed to coincide with new P-plate laws that came into effect in July.

When Angus Taylor was Energy Minister in the new Scott Morrison government (August 2018), he promised power prices would go down by $400 a year. When they didn't, the report saying as much and why didn't see the light of day until Albo was first elected in May 2022.
