Newcastle

Newcastle

After Port Stephens, we went down to Newcastle. We had been in Newcastle 3 years before and we stayed at the same place, the YHA Youth Hostel. The difference this time is that we stayed in the van and just paid $11 each to use the hostel facilities, which was great as we had use of the kitchen, bathrooms and common room!

The weather during our time in Newcastle was extremely wet - which was a shame as it was wet last time as well. It prevented us from visiting some of the key areas.

 Walking over to the lighthouse - we didn't make it as the rain became torrential and we had to go back to the van. It was so bad we had to go to a laundrette to dry our clothes as there was no way they would have dried otherwise!
 Rainbow over Newcastle
 Newcastle Skatepark - I skated for an hour or so just before the rain came!
 Selfie over Newcastle from King Edward Park.
 Charlotte at King Edward Park - you can see the sea is extremely rough and the clouds were gathering

 I climbed up onto the old gun emplacement in the photo below and took a photo of Charlotte (The picture above)
