I don't know whose photo this is, but Busselton is on the south coast of south/west Western Australia. It has a very long jetty, about one mile long or thereabouts, which has been restored and maintained as a tourist attraction.
It's a very pretty coastal town and very popular with holiday makers.
(their beaches aren't as beautiful as Albany's, though!)

mmmmm, I know I know.. Anne..How are you by the way??

Hello Appy - I'm well thanks. I'm glad you've enjoyed your visit to your son. Have a relaxing and safe trip home.

Beautiful underwater photo. I guess all the fish are hiding?

OK, I'll bite. What's an aquaphobe? Someone who hates water?

Funny, Halt!
Sounds like a good definition to me!
Very interesting photo!

Pretty, pretty, pretty. I can't swim to save myself, but I love to snorkel! What a wonderful world under the sea ...
Have a great day/night, everyone.

30:01 Maen! Looks like an interesting place for a dive...

well, Hal said it I think..aquaphobe is a term used to describe ppl who hates water I think...

Beautiful! Anyone find Nemo?

The jetty makes a beautiful underwater garden trellis. -phobe means more like "is scared of" rather than "hates." I think the intention was that it's a pretty secure place to take a look underwater without going too far from something you can grab or someone who can grab you! More...

What a cool picture! Thanks!

Very interesting. I gree with Plum.

15:01 Goodness that was hard. I think I spent the better part of two hours trying to solve it this morning before getting too frustrated. Came back after lunch and things seemed to fall into place. Great picture. Reminds me of snorkeling in Hawaii. ^_^

Good evening to all! Looks like the piling on that pier needs a haircut....
Nice photo whomever!

ttt,
Those are some fancy bridges on your 13-aug solution. I always enjoy reading yours and I frequently learn something new from them.
Thank you.

29:23 to you all from beautiful Beijing.

30:57. All fell into place with one little 6, but that one number took waaayyyy too long to find.

It's funny how things happen in pairs. Just as I completed this puzzle I received an email about, among other things, the upcoming Bussleton ironman event (is one of them a typo, with Bussleton and Busselton the same place?) Anne, do you know if your Busselton has an ironman event?

1)Start at 22,basic techniques to UP=25
(note np:cd9=45,ad8=34)
2)fc;(9=2)h1-(2)c1=(2)c2-(2=6)d2-(6=1)d4-(1)h4=(1)h7
=>h7<>9.UP=81
