Newcastle, New South Wales

A few days in Newcastle with a sneaky stopover in Brisbane...

Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Brisbane

During my stopover I caught the train from the airport into Brisbane's Southbank. 

​I had the privilege of exploring works in the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, which presents new developments in contemporary art with an emphasis on Australia, Asia, and the Pacific, and showcased over 400 artworks by 80 artists.

Merewether Baths to Anzac Memorial Walk

Newcastle, is like Geelong in Victoria, both cities are transitioning from an industrial manufacturing economy and are in close proximity to their respective Capital cities, which has created an influx in new residents and development. The foreshore walk is spectacular, especially in the evening!
