Billy's backyard. We know Manly better than most.
Manly has always known exactly what it is. The ferry from Circular Quay pulls into the wharf, and you step off into a suburb that has been doing the beachside Sydney lifestyle properly since before most of the city was built. The Corso connecting the wharf to the beach, the Norfolk Island pines lining the foreshore, the surf shops and the cafes and the Saturday morning crowds - Manly has a confidence about it that comes from decades of knowing it has something that most of Sydney wants and cannot have.
Billy grew up on the Northern Beaches and has been doing moves in and around Manly his whole career. He knows the suburb the way you only learn it by working in it - which streets lose parking to day-trippers by 8am on a weekend, which apartment buildings on Raglan Street and the blocks behind the Corso have stairwells that were built when furniture was smaller and lighter, and where the truck needs to be before the morning rush arrives if you want to hold a loading position long enough to actually get the job done.
The Corso itself is pedestrian, which means any property within a couple of blocks of the beach requires truck access from Pittwater Road or the residential streets running north and south. East Esplanade properties near the wharf have their own access constraints - the foreshore road is narrow, the views are spectacular, and parking there is genuinely competitive even on a weekday.
The older apartment blocks running up from the waterfront - on Raglan Street, on Ashburner Street, and the streets running west from the beach end of The Corso - were built in an era when developers had not yet thought much about lift dimensions. The stairwells are often beautiful and often impractical for modern furniture. Billy factors stair access and carry distance into every Manly quote so the number you are given reflects the reality of the job, not an optimistic estimate.
For weekend moves near the beach, the start time matters more than almost anything else. The difference between 7am and 8.30am in Manly on a summer Saturday is not thirty minutes of clock time - it is the difference between having a loading position and competing with a hundred cars worth of beach-goers for one. Billy builds the start time into the plan so that issue never arises.
