"I went with my gig buddy, Sherie, to Newcastle”
I’ve been having a rather active month starting with the Pelican Foreshore Markets (Pelican is a place, half way between the Central Coast and Newcastle). They have some nice doggy treats for my dog Rebus, biscuits for me and local honey. There’s music and coffee and we can sit and look across the lake and watch the birds and the boats.
In this photo you can see two power stations (picture 1). The one behind is called Eraring and it is working at a reduced capacity while the smaller one is Wangi Power Station which was shut down decades ago but the building is heritage listed and quite beautiful for a power station, but no-one knows what to do with it.
Last Saturday I went with my gig buddy, Sherie, to Newcastle to see a band called Deadshowws (picture 2), and last week we celebrated my aunt’s birthday at a terrific restaurant, Saddles Mt White (pictures 3 and 4). If you drive up the M1 heading north you will know Mt White as the truck weighing station but there’s more to it! The restaurant is on a property so there’s lots of birds and wildlife. They do takeaway if you desperately need food while you’re on the road.
