Impulsive excursion to Catherine Hill Bay today when my hairdresser appointment ended earlier than expected. Had a walk and a paddle.

New reflections. Walked around the Hunter Wetlands Centre with a friend this arvo. Had been wanting to get out to see it for ages.

Could smell the salt really strongly among the mangroves here - the muddy waters here are part of the Hunter River Estuary (think it's also part of Ironbark Creek which is tidal and goes through a fair chunk of Newcastle).

Managed to squeeze in a ver quick swim at the restored Newcastle Ocean Baths this morning while mum's care worker was here.

Photo taken in the Baths looking across the blue-green waters to the new shaded concrete step seating and the replica central round art deco style steps in the centre. The cream and green coloured buildings behind have not yet been restored.
Photo of the wooden plank walkway that separates the lap pool on the left from the main pool on the right. The ocean and breaking waves are in the background.

They've done an outstanding job on the restoration but part of me will always miss the old worn baths.

Photo looking across the water of the main pool to the old worn and crumbly looking steps. Waves are breaking behind that and sending up big splashes of white.
Photo looking up from the water at the old white weathered steps. The water is a a lighter green near the white washed wall. The sky is blue with thin light clouds. A couple of sea birds are flying across in the distance.

View from the cafe after my swim. Blissy.

You wouldn't think this stretch of road near the park was under water yesterday after some flash flooding. The cafe chairs out the front of Lizottes (bright blue building) had water lapping around them.

Back in the swim today after a break to let my head heal up. Magnificent timing - high tide really put the ocean into the Baths.

The division between ocean and pool was blurred by the high tide. Love swimming when it's like this.

Video looking out to sea from with the main pool at the ocean baths. The sky is grey wand waves are breaking just behind where a swimmer's dark head is visible. Closer up, the water is a swaying foamy grey-green. The sound is the ocean's white noise - waves breaking. It was difficult to keep the camera steady because i kept losing my footing as waves made the pool deeper at times.

We were warned by the Lifesaver over the speakers to move stuff off these benches (on the side nearer the shore) because even there the waves were splashing up and wetting everything.

Video of the swell in the Ocean Baths, taken from in the water looking back to the main building. The green and foamy water in the pool is rising up and down, spilling over the concrete concourse and splashing up the sides of the benches nearby. After the splash, it comes running back into the pool. The sounds are of splashing and rushing water.

Behind the back wall of the Ocean Baths, the waves break and wash into the rock pools.

#ocean #swim #waves #NewcastleNSW

Video of the waves breaking on the natural rock platform behind the Ocean Baths. The sea is mid to dark blue except for a light green-blue where the waves swell and rise. Rocks are dark brown. Sky is light blue and cloudless.

The colours of the water make me happy.

Had to run errands this morning while the carer was here so detoured the Bar Beach on the way for a lovely little walk and a paddle.
