Catherine Hill Bay

A day at the beach: Hazards listed as sharks... We didn't see any! 
Around the South of Lake Macquarie and then back up the seaward side, brought us to Catherine Hill Bay. The whole area is a big coal mining centre and an old pier poked out to sea where boats would load up, in the days before huge container ships. The hinterland was blackened by recent bush fires, with new leaves already on the eucalyptuses and saplings enjoying the newly opened canopy among the sooty trunks. We body boarded and surfed, with the onshore breeze keeping us cool all day.
