Pictures of Newcastle

I borrowed Davey's bike and rode it into town the other day. My explorations led me by some cool places, buildings, and sights, and I did my best to take some pictures. At first I couldn't help riding on the right hand side of the bike paths, but I eventually realized that I should stay on the left hand side. It was long day of riding, but exploring the town was "heaps" enjoyable. Here are some pictures:

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!
