Newcastle (Part II)

So it turns out Newcastle was a great introduction for us into Australian life.  Beaches were a must and good food a plus!  Thanks again to the McIntosh family for opening up their hearts and homes and taking such good care of us for a week.  Here are some pics to highlight that part of the journey:

Country/western singer from the Carrington bowl (the Carri).....he had an amazing voice...

Me...."taking it all in"...

Random drag show at the Carri....ha....this is where Niara was bunny slapped....

World's largest saltwater pool.  Larger than an Olympic-sized pool.  100m by 50m

 Me and Kel basking in the glow of the sunset.....and Cooper's.....
