    It was the David Allan dredge, keeps the shipping channel navigable. Love watching our home town on these vids.

    The starfish & the little fish in that rock pool were so cute! The foggy sunrise at redhead was beautiful too. If you’re in Newcastle looking for water again I recently discovered there’s a tap hidden in the bushes facing the road in that top car park on York Drive. Never even knew it was there till the other day when I drove past a guy I see in there all the time in his camper who had his hose connected to it washing his camper.
    The weather shields look great. They work better than you think. I have them on my Hiace & I accidentally left my windows down all night when we were at a free camp we arrived to late & I was tired & forgot about the windows & it poured rain through the night & I realised when I got up the next morning that my windows were down & I checked the seats & everything & all of it was dry. I couldn’t believe it lol.
    Was the place right on the water at the creek the place I told you about? It’s beautiful there but every time I’ve tried to go there lately someone else has beat me to it lol.
    Do you have any plans of where you’ll go next now that you don’t have to hang around here for paragliding for the next few weeks?

      I think those rock pools had the most life of any I've seen in a long time.
      I'll have to have a look around for that tap. Need another fill point around there 😂
      The spot on the creek was just opposite the dog park at Speers Point. I haven't gone down the other side yet. While I can sleep in that residential estate, I'm making the most of it...so quiet there 😁
      My plans....still in the making...😂

      Thanks Coral. I like the concept of going and listening to live music, but every time I do it, I'm just disappointed by the type of music being played 😂
      I have such an "alternative" music taste.....I probably need to go to a rave party...but can't stand smoke and drugs 😂

      A couple of people are suggesting it's a dredge which is really interesting.
      I've seen the refueling tankers in Melbourne as well, so yeah, I figured it might have been something like that too but never seen it hook up with a ship.

    I look forward to your vids every couple of days 😊 i am happy to see you are getting some nice weather instead of rain while you are out & about 😄 i love Newcastle, unfortunately i have only visited when i am on my way to Qld or Melb, so was always time restrictions. One day i will stay a lot longer, in the meantime i will live through your vids 😆 can i please ask what you use to edit your videos? I am having trouble finding a decent one.

      I'm using DaVinci Resolve. It's a professional package that they offer a free version of too. Very powerful but you'll need a high spec computer and graphics card. Mine struggles!
      If you want to edit in your phone, Ive used Inshot. Actually works really well and is quick to use. I deal with so many video clips now though, that the laptop is the best way to do it for me

      It's a DJI Neo. If you don't need the following ability though, the DJI mini 4k would give better quality pictures.
