Stockton

 A walk along the breakwater is a must when you visit Stockton.NSW. No only does it have good views towards Newcastle , it also has views of Stockton Beach. This beach is good for children because it isn't too rough. The breakwater is made up of huge block of concrete plus big holders of rock. Embedded in the wall you will also see old shipwrecks that ran aground in the Stockton area.

Newcastle Regional Library

A million stars to end violence- This is done to raise awareness about violence in todays society. These stars represent " Light, Courage and Hope."

It took my breath away when I walked in and saw this and I felt sick that we should have to do this today. The foyer of the library is an awesome place and these statues and so domineering but welcoming at the same time.
