Topic: Queenscliff, New South Wales


  
  Walkabout - Queenscliff
Queenscliff is one of those delightful seaside resorts which is both a popular beachside destination and a sophisticated retreat characterised by elegant hotels, guesthouses, galleries, some substantial public buildings, chic restaurants, cafes, a fine golf course, ferries, wide streets faced by terraced houses and both bay and surf beaches.
Fort Queenscliff was designed not only to attack enemy shipping but to render it secure from land assault, hence there is a loopholed fort wall, a dry moat (once crossed by a drawbridge) and a castellated keep, along with the guardroom, cells, an underground shell magazine and muzzle-loading cannons.
Popular fishing areas are Queenscliff pier, the bight between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale, the rock walls and jetties of Queenscliff anchorage and the sheltered water of Swan Bay.

Knowing that this new method of construction was the way ahead for yacht development, McConaghy journeyed to the USA to source materials from the aerospace industry which were unavailable in Australia.
But news of McConaghy’s space-age winning skiffs had travelled quickly, and in 1979 John was approached by Australian property developer Peter Kurts to build the world’s first fullsize composite racing yacht.
Constant experimentation with these new materials in a boatyard environment has given the company the experience it needs to know what results are possible, and how they are best achieved.

As a person with an autistic spectrum disorder (Asperger's syndrome), I find the concept of a somatic effect normally associated with a negative emotion (such as the galvanic skin response mentioned in the article) without the expected accompanying emotion to be entirely consistent with my own personal experiences.
I have also been known to shed tears under stressful conditions without having any overt perception of negative emotion such as sadness, anger or fear.
