Photo taken today of the new Manly Rockwall

Seems to be progressing well considering they are 1 month into a 3 month project.

The guys on site told me they have about 20m of wall to go. As u can see they have started the kink at the end, so another 20m on it to go.

Overall the wall appears to be about 0.5m higher than the old highest part, and that new height runs the full length if the wall. Total
Length is probably close to double what it used to be.

Negatives. Anything less than about half tide will be severely wind shadowed in a SE wind.

Positive. We may have a great 100m+ speed bank on a high tide and strong SE wind.

If he is, can you double check that GPS that he wears? I don't think it's a legal unit.

Mate I don't think it is double , I noticed when they started they put some marks out , they have just made it the same height the whole way and added the kink. I hope the top if flatter so we can walk out and Our mate Leo could put some steps in I reckon :)

Jeez I wonder what that might be? Starts with C? And best with lemon or lime?
