The expression ‘on the rocks’ can be good or bad depending on whether you are in a bar or on a boat.

In this building there are both and being on the rocks just adds to the effect for both. The recently rebuilt (from the rocks up) Henley Surf Life Saving Club is welcome development from the old ‘shed’ that once stood there and continues to play a valuable part in the local community regardless of whether you are into boats or bars or beaches.
