I ment to put this in the last post
Australia's version of Burger King (also notice "Brekky" on the sign. They totes abbrev everything)
Meatpies. They're pretty good and very popular here
Cockatoos walking around like pigeons
Catholic Cathedral
Holy water fonts
Inside of the Cathedral
Newcastle Harbor & Knobby's Head
Knobby's Beach. Follow the beach all the way to the harbor & Knobby's Head
Right hand point break I wandered upon
Cool houses overlooking the right hand point break
Ocean bathes at Newcastle Beach. Rationally, why build a pool right next to the beach, you can just swim in the ocean? And yet it's so cool!
I think this was a kid's ocean bath, again at Newcastle Beach. Check out the waves in the background
This was just a poor day at Newcastle Beach! Can't wait for a real swell to come through
The cliffs at Newcastle Beach
Anglican Cathedral up on a hill. Didn't go there yet, but it was cool how it appears to be hovering over the city.
Downtown Newcastle: Roundabound, clock tower, and Norfolk Island Pines
That's it for now. I'm off to Sydney this weekend for a frisbee tournament!
misspelling: it's actually Nobbys
ReplyDeletea poor day at Newcastle looks better than a poor day at home, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletelove ya!

In general that's true, but I went out another afternoon, and it was really windy and about waist high, stomach at best. With the wind pushing the waves in weird directions, the waves were actually just as bad as back home. I thought it was impossible, but rest assured that even Australia has truly terrible moments for surfing.
