If I wanted to check out the local sights, plenty to see without much
effort or distance.
I did venture out to the city, and saw a lot the first afternoon. Friend
Robin showed me all the local galleries the next day.
Love the colour of this bike in the city and it's chippy paint.
The abandoned Civic Railway station which used to be the end of the line.
The old indicators seen through mesh, all locked away.
Deserted platforms.
Wonderful wrought iron awning trusses.
The old benches, all is getting covered slowly by pigeon strike.
At the end of my street is a park and a river walk.
Many fish were jumping here early in the morning.
I stayed at the end of this quiet street, all character cottages. Across the grass
and onto this bridge for a river walk, met many people walking and their dogs.
The park also boasted a community garden.
The nearby Moreton Bay Fig tree, at night you could hear the Flying Foxes,
and a resident Tawny Frogmouth.
Iced coffee in a cafe, good fashion mag and an Anzac cookie. Sweet indulgence.
This shot is taken in a Newcastle Mall, beautiful old building, currently unused.
My homemade Anzac biscuits are heaps better than this one.
Robin has the keys to the printmaking kingdom.
Ooh, so many presses!
Invited Robin back for a cuppa at the end of the big day out.
