Nords Wharf Sunset - Lake Macquarie by

Sunset Tuesday 10/1/2012 taken from the back landing of my house at Nords Wharf.
Nords Wharf is at the southern end of Lake Macquarie and south of Newcastle. It originated as a settlement for coal miners working in the mines in the area.
The chimneys of Vales Point Power Station can be seen on the horizon.

    Well now that’s a pretty horrible view you have Alwyn… stunning sunset too.

  • Hi Mate. Yes it is hard to put up with. I would like to live here all the time but my wife has her social life in Singleton and I do not think it right to take her away from that. I keep asking if she wants to move.

  • Many thanks Julie. Yes living on the east side of the lake gives us sunsets but no sunrises.
