We are always amazed by the Catherine Hill Bay Jetty!! ☀️
Nobbys was originally an issue for early sailors, sailing into the port of Newcastle. So to alleviate this Nobbys was physically reduced in height to 27.5 metres in 1855.

The brand new @svitzerau Glenrock proceeding to the harbour entrance to meet a ship entering port. Step onboard Atmos with CoastXP to see the workings of the largest port on the east coast of Australia!
Newcastle Harbour is home to many vessels. Here we are passing the dredge (David Allen) that works all year round!
We are so lucky to be able to call this stunning coastline our home! 📸 = @dominicmmay

Golden hour on Newcastle Harbour! 👌
This is the resident dredge within the port, the David Allen with Christ Church Cathedral in the background. From the water, these two Newcastle icons look incredible!
Loving every day of running CoastXP. This photo from @krystal.mckinley shows my passion for the Hunter Coast and why I love sharing it with locals and visitors alike! ☀️
