former Customs House
is now a hotel, dining, conference facility.
We crossed over and walked up to Hunter St, Newcastle, noting the time on our way...will return to the foreshore for lunch. See the five white shades at the front for dining under, well in front of those are six fountains spurting water. From this distance they tend to look like pillars instead.
Unused, heritage-listed, Newcastle Post Office building est. 1828. Purchased by the N.S.W. State Government for redevelopment.
we came back from Hunter Street via this overhead walkway
connected to that tower
could've gone up for some beaut photos, but we didn't ...
we opted to stop for lunch here
and bought our lunches to the table when the buzzer went off (don't they scare the daylights out of you when they sound off?!) outdoors, under the canopies, by the water ....
over there,
with the seagulls.
like that postal building very much. glad they're going to do something with it (hopefully).
