In order of annoyance:
1. Jet skis
2. Portable speakers
3. Rows of CoolCabanas close to the water blocking the view
Am I missing any?

Very sad to read about the death of Dr Jane Goodall at 91.
We last corresponded in 2024. Despite her age and busy schedule, she took time to comment on Defence Housing Australia's plan to bulldoze Lee Point in Darwin for new homes, calling it “simply unacceptable”. 1/2

Neville the kangaroo is back after disappearing for almost three weeks.
The large male made national headlines after he was harassed by the dog. There were fears he had died.
