I had been invited a long time ago up to Lake Macquarie for the weekend. So I took up the offer of a visit. They day started out with drama. My mobile phone, which has been playing up for as long as I had it, gave up the ghost. It looked like the SIM card had finally spat the dummy. So I had to delay my departure to go into the shop and get a replacement. Since I had the card replaced, it has worked properly. But this meant that I was late for the protest march I was going to photograph. As I was there after the time allocated, the police would not let me in to join up with the others. Clearly they had also massively overreacted to the protest and there were so many police there on motor cycles and a massive temp fence erected around the power station. Really they could be spending their time and money more effectively fighting crime.
Having some time to kill I decided to drive around the lake. I have never really explored this part of NSW before. I stopped in Warner's Bay for lunch. The place was good, but overpriced.
I then headed around to Swansea Heads.
I then joined up with the others. I went out on a walk around the shore at Wangi Wangi.
After a pleasant dinner, the next morning, we went down to the try out the new cafe.
There was a bower bird nest in an empty house block. I think they must love the arrival of blue plastic.
Later went for a walk at the point.
