MS Volendam

In March 2010 the luxury liner MS Volendam will visit Batemans Bay. 237 metres long and of 60,906 tonnage, the MS Volendam carries 1,440 passengers and 647 crew.

Here's the MS Volendam at Circular Quay, Sydney:

Ring of Bright Waters

A splendid morning for paddling greeted the Bay Adventure Kayakers who attended Saturday’s time trial at Nelligen. The trial commenced just as the high tide was turning, so the times for the second lap for those paddling the 10km distance were appreciably slower than the first lap as paddlers had to paddle against a stronger running tide.

Bay Adventure Kayakers inaugural annual general meeting will be held on December 5 at 10.30am after the time trial. The meeting is to be held at the club’s unofficial headquarters at Café Nelligen.

Marine Park Lockout

We have asked all the little fishies that live around our jetty and answer to their individual names Hermann, Wolfgang, Fritz, Albert, Manfred and Herbert, to sign the petition. They all said they would do so although we couldn't hear Herbert's answer too well. He had trouble talking as he had a dirty big fishhook in his mouth.

Happy Birthday to me!

A certain person who shall remain nameless celebrated his birthday today!

GOOGLE service for remote areas

We are pleased to hear that, in response to the needs of small communities in remote areas without adequate internet access such as Nelligen, GOOGLE Classic has become available.
