Presumed you were up in the northern burbs Dave. Wasn't in Cronulla, but I do remember having to kip on a bench one Saturday night in Sutherland after falling asleep on the last train out of Sydney. It seemed a long time before the first train back into town. Loved the Royal National Park mind. Spending another, less raucous, weekend at Burning Palms was a far more pleasant experience!
Edit: never really understood RL, but enjoyed watching the North Sydney Bears, as they had a brass section in the crowd. Loved the "wah-wah wah waaaaaaaahhh" trombone when they messed up on the pitch. Great fun!
