#2  wow, wow, WOW I can't WAIT for 60 minutes!

Well it must be just past North Head on the ocean side then!!

Amazing to think that in the war, when the midget subs fired on Bondi, that million-dollar real estate could be bought for a buck or two as the terrified residents fled for the hills and sold out. Wish I coulda bought some then but my dad was just a boy.
