Took our third trip to Newie to see Trisha and do some early modern scholarly pow-wowing. We stayed at the Sebel just off Newcastle Beach, and while Trisha and I worked over each other's most recent book chapters, the kids and Philip enjoyed the various beaches. Had dinner with Trisha and friend James at Aquazul the first night and the second night Trisha took me to fellow colleague Ros's house for an early modern round-table (quite literally--it was actually a dinner for a visiting colleague from Melbourne and a good excuse to get a bunch of us 16th- and 17th-century freaks together. For the record, it was a spectacular meal with much lively conversation--it was weird; we all had so much in common!).
For those of you entranced by the NSW rock pool phenomenon, the last photo here shows the largest one of them all. Check that thing out. And the deco structure is the bathing house on Newie Beach.
