To Newcastle rollers


Today I caught a choo choo train up to Newcastle conversing


It's about an hour up the coast from where I live and it was a brilliant day out head banger

In the planning process, I wasn't sure whether to do the heritage/cultural thing or the scenic/nature thing so I did both laugh

"Newcastle is one of Australia's oldest and most interesting cities. Containing a quirky blend of new and old architecture, a rich indigenous history, a working harbour and fabulous beaches, Newcastle is known as unique and eclectic. The land and waters of Newcastle are acknowledged as the country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, whose culture is celebrated in community events, place naming, signage and artworks."

Took a few pics to share with you, I hope you like them wave

Thought this Model T Ford looked a bit like a tractor grin laugh
