They might call this exercise, but this was pure delight! The sand, the water, the cool morning breeze - this I could get use to!
On Saturday morning, Juliet and I drove into Newcastle to Nobby's Beach which is ranked as probably Newcastle's best beach. It is suitable for surfing, fishing, windsurfing, swimming and kite surfing. The beach is always patrolled and therefore safe for swimming. There were several surfers in the water trying to catch the waves.
We walked along the break wall at the northern end of the beach. The views of Newcastle and the northern coastline of Stockton Beach were spectacular. After we arrived at the end of the break wall, we turned around and started walking back. What we saw was horrifying - a middle aged fat man with a huge beer belly wearing only a speedo! Juliet and I looked at each other and it was all we could do not to burst out laughing!
We watched a group of dolphins playing in the water - there were probably about 20 in the group. Unfortunately they are so quick, I didn't get a picture of them.
If you look very carefully on the horizon of this picture you will see all the cargo ships waiting their turn to come into the harbour.
Nobby's Head Lighthouse and Signal Station. 1854. The lighthouse
was the third lighthouse built in NSW. The entire station is floodlit at night. The lighthouse stands on a former island, which has been reduced in height and joined to the mainland by a causeway. It is an active lighthouse.

This is one of the huge cargo ships being towed out of the harbour by a tug boat.
