Loving Mosman in Summer


A recent weather forecast   "The temperature tomorrow is likely to push past 40C in the city tomorrow and 44C out west., Saturday and Sunday seeing something similar before a much cooler Monday." 
Sydney’s summer of stinkingly-uncomfortable heat and humidity has continued with temperatures topping 40C as other parts of NSW also swelter.

Birdsville, in Queensland’s far west is tipped to reach 48C next Tuesday, the same time Bourke is forecast to hit 46C ...

We are fortunate to have Balmoral to escape to - especially in the early evening.

Max Duplain's famous photo was taken nearby at  Manly Beach.

I shield my face; My eyes are closed; I spin with nearing sleep; I am dissolved within myself and softened like a ripening fruit;I swing in a red-hazy void; I sway with tides of blind heat.
From ‘The  Sunbather’ – John Thompson
