Ahh, good old Wattamolla! What teenager growing up in the Shire didn't go through this "rite of passage"; jumping off the cliffs to prove your manhood?!
Now, my wife and I take our sons down there for a swim in the summertime, they love it there. They watch the teenagers jumping off the cliffs and ask, "Have you really jumped off there Dad?", with suitably awestruck expressions. Of course, being the responsible Dad, I have to say, "Yes I did but it is a very dangerous thing to do and I was very silly!"
Of course I know one day they are going to give it a crack themselves when I'm not there to stop them...ah well, boys will be boys.
