Back Up Back Up and Give a Brother Some Room

Finally got an external hard drive! A moment of celebration. It was never a huge task I kind of couldn't be bothered. Only got this one because someone else said "Gotta go. Have to get to shops to get a hard drive" And that's all it takes for Aly to shell out money. Very compliant. Did not really have a clue of what I was looking for I think was the main issue.

I needed one though after that time a few months ago when my comp decided to just up and leave me. Managed to retrieve all files for a princely sum but it took this long to back it up. No. More.

It has a weird rolling weight to it - 05/01

Nice day in Sydney for a bit of a walk. P has one of those historical walking books. One sent us on a scenic route around the oil refinery near Waverton... ended up just going over to a park on the other side called Berry Island. The book informs us that this area was only connected to the mainland at low tide up until the 60's when the isthmus and mudflats were filled in with car bodies, rubble and soil to allow access. Charming.

We mainly took in the Gadyan Track, Darug for cockle shell, which leads you around the 'island' with views to the city.

Little bit of bush in the city - 06/01

The 'island' has a few information signs about the wildlife and fauna on the island. It is thought because of the 'islands' setting that the Cammeraygal people used this area as a kind of meeting place and lookout.

If you need some overpriced, outdated, unseasonal bears then K-Mart has you covered.

Sydney Festival First Night. Started the night off with some historical films about Sydney around the 30's. Rounded out the night with some Arrested Development at Martin Place.

 

 Everyday People - 08/01

They were awesome as expected. My first listen to Arrested Development was probably Mr Wendel on a compilation album called Sweat It Out '93 or Hit Machine 5. Thanks to sister for head up on those album names. I can never remember important facts like that.
