Parochialism? No, we don't practice that in the North.
That only applies to the strange people South of Oatlands.

No, not that close to Shearwater (I am at Greens Beach) though it is
not a long drive (less than an hour). I don't have any oysters closer
than 1500 hundred metres, though I can get abalone in front (about 100
metres or less, depending on the tide)

The Nut is great!
I was there 3 days for the long weekend with 31 other bushwalkers in
January and the weather was superb.
