Newcastle had some impressive waves breaking on its shores from the Pacific. We saw a few surfers braving the freezing waters, but they avoided these crackers of waves, and (to be honest) were pretty rubbish on the little ones they did decide to tackle!
Gary however didn’t mind standing close to the end of the harbour breaker for a dramatic photo. Not quite close enough to get wet of course.
And so it was only fair for me to perch on the rocks too… Not so many big waves hitting this one, but it was more of a balancing act to get to - with a higher risk of getting wet if I fell off! And below you can see Gary on the rocks… not quite where the waves are but close! Brave? Or foolish?
Newcastle’s wildlife reserve had a lovely spacious pen with some wallabies, birds, snakes, and a few gorgeous koalas. This one was particularly beautiful! They are sooooo sweet – but incredibly lazy. Most of the little things just slept while we were there, but two decided to move oh, a meter or so for a snack of eucalyptus leaves. The rest just perched on a branch and snoozed. Such a hard life! And there were also beautiful kangaroos. The Kangaroo enclosure was huge. So big that you couldn’t see across it – great for the animals, but not so great for all the people wandering around it trying to see the kangaroos! Luckily this little one stayed close enough to the outside of the pen to be photogenic.
