Newcastle Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Hello to all our dedicated followers, Well we arrived at Stockton beach tourist park under a threatening sky, but we are experienced at setting up now in rain or shine. We wined and dined with the locals being of course "the Gurrs" (friends of the family)and it felt good having a traditional sit down roast dinner. We awoke the next day to sunshi...

We drove for quite a while and couldn't decde where to stop next.... Kev wanted to go to Newcastle as our guide (which we have decided now is just absolutly pants and tells us the wrong information and doesnt cover the best bits of oz) painted a beautiful picture of the place..... We arrived and it was a dive really, worse then the real Newcastl...

Our next stop down the coast was Newcastle, the one and only reason being our friend Mel (who we met in Vietnam) lives there. Unfortunately by the time we were to Newcastle, Mel was going to be away in Sydney for 2 weeks training. Sweet as she is though, she told us to head on down to Newcastle anyway, to make ourselves at home for a few days at...

Had a great couple of days in newcastle, felt like mine and Gem's last days of freedom before getting to the big city to settle for a while. We were pretty excited about Sydney and it was really all we were waiting for so we didnt get up to much in this large industrial sea side town. Except, of course we visited the beach, had a swim and a sunb...

Ok, so, i ended up getting a ticket to see Pearl Jam once again, in Newcastle. So, of course i had to take it and go see it. the show was in a big barn. ok, that is just my opinion of the venue, but it was a small place, only 6500 capasity!! i was 10th row center on the floor. anyway, this was by far the BEST set list i have ever heard and am gl...

This morning I made the short walk from the hostel to Beaumont Street which is billed as the street with the best restaurants in Newcastle. I just had a little look around and wandered into a really good second-hand book store. After a quick coffee I hopped on a bus to get out to the Blackbutt reserve. The reserve has a some native Australian wi...

It was our last day in Sydney. We checked out at 10:00 am and put are bags in lockers for the day as our bus didn't leave until 6:45pm. So, we decided to go to the Sydney Aquarium. What a great place! We saw sharks, rays, coral gardens and even Nemo. There was an underwater tunnel were we watched and listened to seals swimming above our heads. W...

So, another week of conservation is over, yay! This week we had a different team leader man called Steve, and it was pretty boring really. Sarah really doesnt get on with him, hes kindof lazy. One of this weeks jobs was pulling up grass by hand!?!! There were some baby trees so they couldnt just cut the grass around them, but jesus, its like sum...

Did you know that when you go diving deep, as in deeper than about 25m or so, you can get this syndrome called Nitrogen Narcosis? If you are lucky enough to get "narced", it makes you feel drunk, sort of, and completely off your rocker. There are stories like a guy taking out his regulator and giving it to a fish. Apparently, as I just read, aft...
