Bugger, when I read the title I thought one was going in on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Just goes to show what wishful thinking can do to your comprehension.

Noice work Laurie

I guess its location will make it on to the 'Maps' map...eventually
'cos we gonna forget about this posting in about 10 minutes

Yehaa, it is Sydney. When I saw the guy asking the question was from WA I was sooo let down, but now it's come true

It's been renamed to "South Narrabeen" to (perhaps) avoid further confusion!

but narrambeen is in the WA wheatbelt?

i'm confused

Ok,

I will swap you 10 acres of Narrambeen for 10 acres at Narrabeen.

You will have to find about 20 million dollars for your end of the deal and I'll probably have to scratch together a couple of hundred thousand.

HI Laurie,

Unfortunately I think that name change makes for more confusion as South Narrabeen is 2kms north of where the wind guage actually is. 2km doesn't seem much but the difference in wind from the collaroy basin area to south narrabeen is often pretty big particularly on lighter nor-easters.

The most common name for the Brownwater/Fishermans beach area is Collaroy Basin which would make more sense and be more accurate.

Apart from that I'm stoked to have readouts coming in from down the end of the street. Means I don't even have to waste time walking to the street to see if the wind is in. Thanks for making life easier Laurie.

Sam.

Yeah, but then he keeps walking on around the corner to get a pie

Wrong direction for pies

I reckon Sam has it with the name.

Great work peanuticus - but I think Collaroy basin is the go...never heard of Sth Narra

(PS. I think that kiter/poley thing is peculiar to WA......given they're all a bit peculiar over there [}:)] )

there is a reason not to use the 'exact' location for the graph, the actual location cannot sustain more than a handful of kites safely and there have been numerous accidents involving trees, houses and handgliders etc, its not a safe place to learn. however Narrabeen is a much safer place hence choosing that. anyway, as long as 'you' know where it is it should not really matter.

thanks for the thanks, I may look at trying to upset the locals at palmy and get one setup there, if there is interest in people making the small investment and there are enough then it can be so. :)

One on Narrabeen lake would be good.

I'd kick in for one at Palmie. Give me a PM if it looks like happening
