It is. For a couple of years i drove over that bridge from N Bondi


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bondi,_New_South_Wales

to work. During two different separations from my ex-wife i rented in the white building

above right from the bridge. The one on the point there. Blues Point Tower

Blues Point was named after Billy Blue, a convict who arrived in Sydney on the Minorca on 14 December 1801, transported for stealing a bag of sugar.[1] Physically imposing, he was described as a "strapping Jamaican Negro 'a very Hercules in proportion' with a bright eye and a jocular wit".[1] He claimed to have served with the British Army in the American War of Independence.

it's called. Luckily i was on the bridge side so had a perfect view of New Year fireworks. It was a controversial building .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Point_Tower . Spent many hours fishing off the harbor wall there. Sunny days with a hand line and a cask of cheap wine. Solitary peaceful afternoons.

One day i locked myself out, and went in to my tiny balcony from the kitchen window of a neighbor's apartment.
He was a stranger, but still held my legs as i stretched outside. By memory it was about 8 floors up. LOL

On the journey just now looking for an earlier mention (not found) of that i picked up these two.

Working 9 to 5 -- at 75

How the fastest-growing group in the American work force is changing what it means to be "retired."

After Ailika Thomas woke up from a snooze, her husband brought her coffee in bed. It was 7 p.m., and the 73-year-old was facing a long, moonlit drive from her rural Indiana home to Chicago; Dean wanted to make the journey as easy as possible for his wife. As she dressed, he warmed the car (a red Buick named Carmen) and stocked it with snacks -- containers of sugar peas, blueberries and her favorite, raw turnips. When Ailika emerged from the back door in a pink-and-white pants combo accompanied by her two Yorkshire terriers, Dean gave her a warm goodbye kiss and made her promise to call at journey's end.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
