Jim Lad, it's true that the Western Suburbs are considered to be further out towards the Blue Mountains now. I live in Earlwood, which is not all that far from Burwood, and we think of our area as the "Inner West". The Western Suburbs to me are what you come to if you go shooting out along the M4. There are new suburbs out there I have never even heard of.

Charlie, I haven't noticed the mountains doing any slumping, but I'll keep an eye on them till you come.
