Newcastle Catch Up

Our run of dry sunny days may end this evening. Clouds formed this morning but we enjoyed another fine day.

Today we spent time with an old friend. We met at the Newcastle Food and Flower Markets for lunch. This is a small market that has suffered wind damage to its greenhouse. The cafe has a reasonable menu and interesting pastries. There are murals on the external wall.

After lunch we went back to Stockton for a walk along the Breakwater. Bluey had a run on the beach, chasing another small dog. The remains of wrecked ship have survived recent wild weather.

The David Allan dredging ship returned to harbour this afternoon. This ship operates 7 days per week keeping the harbour safe for shipping. It makes several trips through the breakwater every day.

As the sun was setting in the west late this afternoon, the clouds to the east reflected the sun’s rays over the ocean.

A freak photo was posted on the Facebook page for our last Aussie Road Crew trip. The picture was taken as a small motorhome drove through the gate into the Evening Star Caravan Park. An old truck has been parked near the gate for years. In the photo it looks like the old truck is a motorhome, because the front of the motorhome is hidden behind the truck.
