Sunday morning on the Woronora...

Sunday morning and we're out for a paddle...




Far more birds than people out this early.



Inspecting the Woronora River Bridge from a new angle...



Woronora is also home to Australia's only floating fire station. It floats up and down with the tide, with those black poles keeping it in place. Why a floating fire station?



Because all the fire vehicles are boats!



The tide is very low as we reach the boat ramp, but luckily Liem jumps out to save the day...



Even if he did nearly lose a croc! (The kayakers in the background are about to run into the same problem we did, there's barely ten centimetres of water in the middle of Forbes Creek.)

Is Liem going through a growth spurt or has he recently? His arms look so long! He's growing up.

Not recently (that I've noticed), but he did have a big one about two months ago. He does look rather "long" at the moment.

Yes, he does look all long and lean right now!

His arms certainly look skinny in that photo. Maybe he has shot up again...

A floating fire station! Mermaid's Hands is too small a community to build one, but I like that it floats on pontoons much the way the houses in Mermaid's Hands do.

It seems like a very elegant idea. I've seen floating villages in Vietnam before, but I can't remember how the houses were fixed in place.
