Lindfield New Home or Mona Vale Townhouse?


New Listing in Lindfield

104 Highfield Road, Lindfield which is a brand new home on a recently subdivided corner block, will be on the market for the first time this Saturday.  An 11 December auction is scheduled.  The home has been well designed for space, light and privacy and falls in the Killara High School Zone.  This makes the location a popular choice for families (4 brs) needing a high quality low maintenance lifestyle in a position with easy access to both schools, city and universities. (Macquarie & Macquarie Park are a stones throw away while the UTS campus at Lindfield is even closer).


or choose Mona Vale on the cusp of Bayview : beautiful spacious townhome with a touch of class, inspect Saturday or Sunday 12.30 - 1.15, 1,155-157 Darley Street West, overlooking Bayview golf course and minutes from beach or shops.


Meanwhile in Newport …
What a surprise to see the streets of Newport transformed for the annual market day.  Rock bands were throbbing on the seaside park, musicians strummed their trade in the newly refurbished arcade of restaurants and on the corners of the street.  The parking area behind the Barrenjoey shopping strip was an amusement arcade with extraordinary performers turning themselves inside out to the huge appreciation of the crowds.  Children thronged the water slide and amusements near the beach.  If you missed it this year, keep and keen eye out for next November or visit the next beach side suburb to take it’s turn at this massive pre-Christmas event.
The Surf Life Saving Club at Newport focused on art and photography with the fundraiser of historic photos finishing its display.  Now I can let the secret out, I won the raffle and have collected a second historic photo of the area to hang in my new home!  With plans now approved by Council I am now trying to decide how to build this simple beach side home designed by Sean Gartner, without breaking the bank!

From KILLARA to NEWPORT, our goals for our children are shared


Avalon is offering family swimming sessions on Saturdays while in Killara the Marion St Theatre for Young People is at last back in it’s rightful place in the theatre in Marion St.  The current season of Cinderella runs Saturdays only now until 27 November.  Get on line to enrol for 16 week  (2 semesters a year)  classes 5 – 12 year olds  www.mstyp.org.au  or older kids who get the opportunity to present pantomimes such as this one written by Children’s Theatre stalwart Helen Martin.
The aim is to build basic confidence and enhanced performance style.
This weekend (November 6 & 7) 10am – 4pm visit Robin Cale Clubrooms, Newport Surf Life Saving Club, Barrenjoey Rd, Newport Beach and pick up a limited edition print  from Cale’s Newport photos 1930 – 1950.  All proceeds go to Newport Surf Life Saving Club.
It was fun to see a surfer this morning leaving the surf at 7.15 am and showering off at the viewing platform in the car park before putting on his school uniform (Narrabeen Sports High), handing his board to his dad, and jumping on the school bus.  Now that’s the way to have a great day!
