"The quality of mercy is ...."

The centre piece of Blue Mountains tourism is Echo Point, offering spectacular views of Jamison Valley. At long, long last the latest round of upgrades and enhancements to the precinct have been completed. They include two amphitheatre facilities - one for tourist or school excursion groups and the other, larger one suitable for recitals, plays, meetings, major lectures etc Given the obvious restrictions due to Covid19, outdoor performance venues may prove invaluable. 

Here, Norma is occupying the stage and speaking to me in a subdued tone of voice. I can hear every word. 

It is difficult to determine if most of the other improvements are worth the millions that have obviously been spent - especially given the long overdue local landslide/flash flood disaster repairs that still lie waiting to be attended to from January. Personally I have my doubts.
