On September 18th I arranged to meet John Hatch, a building designer, on (the soon to be) my lot at Como. So, apart from taking some photos of the land, it seemed a good time to take some of Como as well!
My lot is at the end of the driveway

A view of my land, from the NW corner, that is, on the right hand side, this end, as viewed in the top two photos above. The recent rain has done wonders for the grass!
After coffee, it was photo time, and this involved walking up to the old railway bridge. This view shows the walkway (which leads to Oatley), and the marina area.
A bit hard to miss this vehicle! I'm not sure why, since I couldn't see a name, but I suspect this is a Citroen vehicle. Certainly a 'cute' vehicle, and probably very economical to operate.
A train passing on the new bridge, showing the old bridge, which appears to be very narrow.
Looking roughly east along the Georges River from just before the beginning of the old bridge.
It's hard to take a good photo from the bridge, as it has a chain link fence, and taking a photo means a "blind" shoot holding the camera over the top of the wire. This shows the Marina, Como Pleasure Grounds and Carina Bay and looking to the land of "Oyster Bay" in the distance.
The location where the above photo was taken. The pipeline is part of Sydney's water supply, bring water from Woronora Dam to Peakhurst.
