I wish it was a secret... That one is dead centre of town. You'll see it on the upcoming supercar race too.

Nice shots, were these last night? Didn't rain at my place which isn't far away.

I'd like to surf it, but every time I've gone there I could not park within a bulls roar of it, looks a bit gnarly with all those rocks.

But as far as being a "secret", it's about as much of a secret as Kim Ks blow job technique, but the wave is much better, and certainly has a sh!t load more class.

It's definitely not as shallow as Kim k Ob.

That's the one Smh.

You're right about the parking Ob. Even worse now during the supercar stuff. The centre of Newcastle is just a construction site but kind of worth the pain in the long run I think.

to be honest, whenever I go there, I'm just as interested in looking at that art deco baths as I am the waves. I don't recall seeing anything quite like it.

Yeah its a cool old building. It's undergoing restoration at the moment. The pool next also has an interesting history. It supposedly has a map of the world carved in the bottom. Long since covered with sand.

And for those that don't know. This is the building Ob is talking about. The pool is to the right.




And Mac. The money wheel was better Between that and the horse racing we paid for many a fun night out.
