Travelling Worm

Bombo Headland Geological Site

In this post: The crashing seas and imposing rock columns at Bombo Headland Geological Site, south of Sydney on Australia’s east coast

This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).

Today’s travel notes

This worm has crawled past Bombo Headland several times, on past journeys heading south out of Sydney. Never before have I stopped to see what goes on in the area. A few days ago, me and the TC detoured off the beaten track (namely, the M1) to spend a couple of nights in Wollongong. During our stay, we took the small coastal roads down to Kiama, and on the way we stopped to see the headland.

The book I’m in

The Between by Tananarive Due. The TC has only recently discovered this amazing author. Already, we’re more than half way into our second book of hers, and the TC has bought four more. Count ’em, four! Tananarive Due writes beautifully-composed horror. Get into one of her books as soon as you can.

Travel tips

Take a detour from the highways whenever time allows.

The photos

Me at Bombo Beach:

A short walk from the beach, the waves churn and crash between the rock formations at Bombo Headland Geological Site:

A still photo of the same spot captures the watery turmoil:

The tall, squared-off columns of rock are imposing. The rocky ground beneath the rocks is quite bare, and glares in the hard sunlight. Combined with the churning seas, the effect is a little threatening. Definitely eery.

The columns are made of basalt and have a distinctive hexagonal shape, formed during volcanic eruptions 270 million years ago. Basalt is a hard igneous rock that’s produced when lava cools rapidly.

If you walk around behind the rock towers, the scene is more tranquil. A shallow pool lies quiet in the sunlight:

The occasional wave bounces high enough to breach the gap in the rocks and refresh the pool:

The TC, bless her slightly wet cotton socks, posed in front of another gap. She waited patiently for that Internet-favourite shot with the waves crashing behind her:

Here’s the same Internet-famous spot, without the TC this time:

That’s all for today, folks

@phosh

Mostly using #Phosh on a #LibreM5 running #Mobian #trixie lately but also a #PinePhone running #Mobian #bookworm (with a trixie era kernel).

About 95% or more using the #Dino #XMPP client.

Mostly with WiFi but occasionally cellular data. Never with cellular voice calls or text.

Had tried Chats ages ago but the #OMEMO support was unreliable and there was no offline support at all. Lack off offline support was a total deal breaker for me.

Love phosh a lot, many thanks!

So, diese zwei Stunden #Fehlersuche wurden präsentiert von #docker CE. In der neuesten stabilen Version für #debian #bookworm ist das Netzwerk kaputt, Pakete kommen von außen in den Host rein, in einer internen Bridge aber nie wieder raus,

Downgrade von 5:28.2.2-1~debian.12~bookworm zurück nach 5:28.1.1-1~debian.12~bookworm
hat geholfen.

Danke, Docker!

I drew lots of images for #paperdemon last week. Ill share them with you:

Here's an image: Jose went to the library alone. The drawing prompt was to draw about a memory that our #oc was proud of. So, I imagined Jose going to the library the first time to get more books on electronics and it, and that it would have been very exciting for her to ask the librarian for help and how proud she would have been going home with a pile of books having accomplished this adventure all by herself. For some of us talking to strangers is easy, for others it can be a hard challenge, and I wanted to show Jose managed the challenge. 😃

Pigmentmarker Sketch of a teenage girl carring a pile of IT-Books. She's looking to the right, wears a hoodie jacket, shirt, a hat and jeans. Attached to the jeans is a keychain with some tiny plushie toy. Ontop of the book pile (4 books) that the girl carries, is an small spikey anti-stress ball. The girl is looking optimistic and laughts a bit, with her mouth open.
