Day 117 - Newcastle and Nelson Bay

Gordon had planned around of golf with the boys at a course along the coast so we three used this is as an excuse to tag along and have an excursion to Newcastle, New South Wales' second city.

Newcastle was built on heavy industry (steel and coal - yes, coals to Newcastle!) and had a rather bad reputation with Sydneysiders. However, it's smartened itself up of late, boasting a fine civic main square, 




top quality architecture including the Art Deco, ocean-fed swimming baths










and some lovely views.



From there, we went north to Nelson Bay, stopping off at sand dunes
