Central Coast, NSW, Australia

I was up shooting the Newcastle run over the weekend, a short course of either 6 or 12km’s around the streets of Newcastle with SuperSport Images. Being such a short course it finished very early in the morning leaving me with a bit of time on my hands to explore the coast down. I have always wanted to see and photograph Catherine Hill Bay Wharf so I made it a necessary stop on the itinerary for heading back south.

The whole surrounding area had just been ravaged by bushfires and there was still a smell of burning coal in the area. Its an area well known for its coal. All the leaves had fallen from the gum trees and It was probably the closest thing that you will see to Autumn colours in an Australian eucalypt forest.

Since It had just been raining in the area too I thought I would pay a visit to Somersby Falls and see them in full swing. Guess I was a bit early as they were still just a trickle. Still nice though.
