Newcastle- we had a day trip to Newcastle.  We didn't like it much! Very much a mix of some old buildings mixed with horrible 70's architecture.  We went to the waterfront to find a nice restaurant for lunch, unlike Melbourne totally devoid of nice eateries.  A couple of photos showing the better bits.

We are staying at the Blue Lagoon park, the pool is wonderful, very nice & warm. Apart from the big pool they have a seperate spa pool with 6 little lagoons which bubble away

Last photo of the Triton next to our van- tomorrow we go to Orange  to pick up our new VW, then a quick visit to Melbourne  to see the family, then on to QLD
