Newcastle Downunder

The calm after the heat

It was at least 32C today or at least that's what the car told me it was when I went out at lunch. It had cooled off a bit this evening and I took Hannah and Hamish for a walk in King Edward Park. At the bottom of the park is the Bogey Hole. The sun had set by the time I got there but there was still some nice colour and you can see some smoke from the bush fire burning down south.

These baths were hewn out of the rock by convicts for Commandant Morisset in about 1820. Now while you are all chuckling at the name Bogey Hole, it comes from an indigenous word meaning "to bathe".
