Lilly Pilly leaves (Acmena smithii)littoral rainforest . Being less than a kilometre from the sea, these forests would be impacted by sea spray laden with salt.
Soils are based on Narrabeen group of sedimentary rocks, rainfall is around 1250 mm per year.
Fires are uncommon or absent in these gullies. These conditions are suited to rainforest areas, which are rare in the Sydney metropolitan area.
Trees in shot here include Sandpaper Fig (Ficus coronata), Port Jackson Fig (Ficus rubiginosa), Cheese Tree (Glochidion ferdinandi) and Cabbage Tree Palm (Livistona australis).
Vines are very common, a juvenile Water Vine is in shot on the left (Cissus antarctica).
A swashbuckling cricketer lived nearby. One of the most famous cricketers of the mid 20th century. I wonder if he walked in this area (Keith Miller).
'Aloha' (1963 - ) at Jacobs Well, Gold Coast, Queensland in 1985Aloha was built by Alf Jahnsen and his son Harvey at their shipyard in Lake Street, Forster, NSW. Launched in 1963 she is now based in the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria and is essentially the same as the original. The legendary quality of Jahnsen built boats is epitomised in this vessel.

Launch
Aloha was launched in Spring 1963 from the old ferry ramp in Tuncurry. She was aided by another Jahnsen built boat, the original ferry Alma G II that had been converted to a fishing boat Wesley Gregory by Alf and Harvey Jahnsen.
Description
When last sold she was described as follows: The Aloha is a classic timber motor-sailer, designed by Beacon & Doherty and built by Alf and Harvey Jahnsen in Forster, launched 1963. Featuring a bright, open layout, reminiscent of Halvorsen, with plenty of entertaining space in the generous saloon and cockpit, and lovely timberwork throughout. She sleeps six with a double vee berth forward, another slide-out double in the saloon, and 2 settee berths in the cockpit. All the foam mattresses are extra thick. The bathroom is spacious and has a vanity, hot shower and electric flush marine toilet. Opposite this is plenty of storage and hanging space.
The Galley is behind the helm portside, with a 2 burner gas stove/oven, Dometic fridge and pressurised water. Headroom is in excess of 6'. Wide side decks are a bonus.
Aloha is powered by it's original Rootes Lister 100 hp two stroke diesel, in well maintained condition, giving her 7 knots at an economical 8 litres/hr.
Inventory includes solar charging, Muir electric windlass, cockpit clears, cabin side brightwork covers, sturdy dinghy davits, sounder and marine radios. She has approx. 600 litres each of diesel and fresh water.
Her main and headsail sailing rig allows for silent cruising off the wind.
Aloha is beautiful yet practical, presented in excellent condition inside and out, and realistically priced for such an eye-catching vessel.
Engine
The Rootes TS3 - Two-stroke, Opposed piston, Diesel Engine that powers the Aloha has been proven to be a reliable, if rather noisy marine engine..
Number of cylinders .......…................3
Number of pistons …………………………6
Displacement ...............199 & 215 cu in (3.2 & 3.5 litre)
Performance ..........................70 - 165 hp @ 2,400 rpm
Torque .................................. 345 ft lb.'s @ 1,250 rpm
Manufacturer ......................Rootes Tillings-Stevens Ltd, UK.
Year of manufacture .................................... 1954 to 1974
Total TS3 engines built (all models) ............54,000 (approx)
TS3 designation .......................................Two Stroke, 3 cylinder
These highly advanced and unconventional design engines are characterized not only by their lengthy and highly detailed pre-production development, but also by the unusually high quality material specifications used for their engine components and very precise manufacturing processes and machining tolerances used in their production.
The Opposed Piston 2-stroke design provided much fewer points of failure than in a conventional engine design:
No cylinder head(s).
No cylinder head gasket(s).
No cam box / rocker cover gaskets
No valves.
No camshaft.
No valve gear (cam followers, push-rods, cam timing gears, valve springs, keepers and collets, cam bearings etc).
Six pistons, but only 3 cylinders and 3 diesel injectors.
The Opposed Piston, twin Rocker Lever architecture also provided less than 5 degree conrod angularity at the pistons, so there was virtually no side thrust generated on each firing stroke.
This meant the levels of cylinder bore and piston skirt wear, plus the related motoring losses (friction losses generated when the engine is running) were substantially less than all conventional design diesel engines.
These combined qualities produced:
High power density.
High levels of mechanical reliability under adverse / overload operating conditions.
Impressive engine life.
Very low fuel consumption (0.37 lbs per HP per hour).
Low overall operating costs.
Rootes financial troubles on the car side of their business resulted in Chrysler USA assuming full control of Rootes Group in 1967, which also included Rootes Diesel Engineering Division. By 1974, all TS3 engine production had ceased.
