Day out

My neighbour wanted to bring his 2 kids to the town so he decided to brought me along! =D
So yesterday, I went out with them. It was great. The place was great! Went to a few places, like the higher ground lookout area and some historic places. Wanted to go the fort Scratchley. The only fort in Austalia to have engaged the enemy in a maritime attack during Word War II. But unfortunately it was closed on that day. So probably I'll make a trip down this Saturday or something and by then I'll explain more of it and with pictures included! Gotta drag someone go with me!
So I went to the Obelisk. A prominent feature on Newcastle's skyline, once used by ships to identify Newcastle Harbour and guide them. It was also a water reservoir, but it closed down after an explosion during 1985.

-the obelisk-

-view from the obelisk, the furthest island looking thing is the Nobby's Beach landmark-

-can you see the Christ Church Cathedral and the left side of the middle part? Beside the tree, next time I'll go near there and take pictures, I heard it's a really beautiful Cathedral-

-random view-

And then this lookout place, I dunno what is it called tho, my neighbor just told me it's just a lookout area, a perfect spot for parachuting.

-damn nice right!!-

-someone there preparing for parachuting-

-so relaxing-

Shepherd's Hill, also near the King Edward Park. He drove in the park down there, and I saw this really nice Rotunda date back to the earlist days of Newcastle, sadly we didn't stop down and take a picture but I manage to find a picture of it in the net.

-it is a tad blurry here coz I had to enlarge it-

-King Edward Park-

-random view-

-nice right!!-

-jail looking building-

- it was a radar station, then it was moved-

-there are tunnels inside, but they barred up the place so no stray person go in and live inside-

-one of the base I managed to get in-

-and got vandalized summore-

Besides, I also found a perfect spot to jump off the cliff, apparently, I'm not the 1st person found out...

-the perfect spot-

-already got so many memorials-

I went to the Blackbutt Reserve too! Guess what I saw?!!!
BABY KOALA!!!! Climbing at the mama Koala's back!!! Damn CUTE!!!

-see?!!-

-closer view-

That's what I've got for now, probably will make another trip down by myself and drag someone with me this weekend!! I'll see if I manage to get up and go to the Honeysuckle Market on Saturday!! Till then... ta~

CORRECTION!

-this is cockatoo, not parrot-

-if you can't see clearly in the pic above, this is how cockatoo looks like-
