The Fernleigh Track: Neat things in Newcastle

Nearly died taking this shot. Not really...

Running from Adamstown to Belmont, the 15km bitumen shared used track is a fantastic place to ride, run or skateboard. The track was build along an old coal train line and is now hugely popular.

Munmorah Conservation Area

Not far south of Newcastle is Munmorah Reserve, a patch of bush with rocky coastline and a couple sandy beaches. We have driven past many times and wondered what's in there. We finally decided to take a quick trip and have a look see.
