With all the "new bridge" issues here in Barwon Heads (they need to replace the old heritage bridge and the local government has proposed to build one vehicle bridge with a separate pedestrian bridge 30 m further down river into the estuary). All very silly. No one is quite sure why they have not simply combined the two while maintaining the same materials and look of the older bridge, thus adhering to heritage laws.
Spring in Victoria (possibly all of Australia) comes with very aggressive magpies protecting their offspring. So much so they dive bomb those who walk or cycle near the tree nest. That might sound reasonable but you might be a good 12' away from the tree and suddenly there is a squawking bird flying after with you a very pointy beak. Flesh has been known to be removed!
This is a charming old local heritage house in the older section of Barwon Heads, only a few minutes from the beach.
