Waiting for the Next Wave - Bogey Hole, Newcastle, NSW, Australia by Carole Elliott
Pastel on Sanded Paper Take a dip in the Bogey Hole, which was cut into ocean rocks by convict labour in 1819. You will realise the convicts amazing achievement when you see the waves crashing into the pool. / The Bogey Hole was constructed by order of Commandant Morisset in about 1820 for his own personal use and was originally known as the “Commandant’s Baths”. Morisset was Commandant of Newcastle from 1819 to 1822. The name “Bogey Hole” was applied afterwards and comes from the Aboriginal word meaning “to bathe”. This is still a favourite swimming spot in Newcastle and is wonderful to paint, with the contrast in colour between the pool and ocean.

Speers Point Sunset - NSW Australia by Bev Woodman
Another good night of sunsets although a completely different sky to the night before. This time I chose to shoot from near the jetty in Speers Point Park. Again the colours changed constantly and while waiting for yet another shot, this young family of ducklings decided it was their turn to be famous and swam into view. Nikon D90, Tamron 18-270 lens wound to 27mm, 1/25, F701, ISO 400, tripod held. /

Birds Eye View - Queens Wharf Newcastle NSW by Phil Woodman
What better way to kick start November than with a ride in a cage attached to a crane on the foreshore at Newcastle NSW Australia. Call me mad but it was fun and it was certainly a wonderful view from this vantage point way above the city. This commanding view is of Queen’s Wharf with the Brewery in the foreground and Scratchleys Restaurant on the water at the rear. everything looked so miniature below. /

Sunset over Belmont Bay - Lake Macquarie NSW by Bev Woodman
I wasn’t sure there would be a sunset tonight over Lake Macquarie in NSW Australia. The sky clouded over with a low fog like cloud and I thought my time would be wasted … then the sky began to change with hints of blue, snow white fluffy clouds … heavier grey. The sun gently and slowly moved in and out of the layers constantly changing the colours in the sky, keeping me intrigued and riverted to my position on the steps of the old Belmont Baths until I was sure there was no more light … and no more colour. /

Blue Bay - Ooh!! Belmont NSW by Bev Woodman
Another image of tonight’s sunset over Lake Macquarie taken from the salt water baths at Belmont. I was amazed at the wondrous colours that constantly filled the sky tonight … if I blinked or looked away for a minute I was met with another scene … equally as incredible as before. Taken with the Nikon D90, 18-270 mm Tamron lens at 18 mm, 1/160, F9, ISO 400. /

About This Group
This site is for those interested in promoting the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter River regions of New South Wales Australia. The aim is to show the world what we have to offer. After all we have unlimited beaches, rivers, lakes, mountains, vineyards, just to name a few. For years the area has been cloaked in its industrial cloud, now that has lifted and others are seeing this area for the wonderful easy lifestyle that it can offer. All photo images, artistic drawings, writing, journals and clothing are encouraged but must be able to be identified as being of the region.
The work submitted must clearly identify the area and must be accomanpied by a description of where it is and what it is. Images of animals and flowers will be accepted AS LONG AS THESE IMAGES SHOW A SIGNIFICANCE TO NEWCASTLE AND THE REGION. So if its just an image of an animal without the scenery identification, then it will be rejected – there are other groups who cater for this work. THIS GROUP IS TO PROMOTE THE BEAUTY OF THE REGION.
Even though there is an unlimited number of images allowed in the group, there is a limit of 3 images per person per day. This is mainly to make it fair to others in the group who suddenly might find their work buried immediately in distant pages.
No Nudity or inappropriate behavioural images
