Hi  actually we do have another wreck on the other side of Newcastle Harbour,

on Stockton breakbreawater lies a shipwreck call the Adolf

the wreck was there even before the breakwater was built

i visited this wreck some years ago while walking along the break water

the last time i was anywhere near it people used to fish off it but was getting badly delapitated

there probably not much left of it today

and i certainly doubt it safe to walk on but still part of stocktons history just the same

by the way howdy grannyjack and jodi_lee from guess who  : )

 I remember the  Adolf, had a Uncle who lived at Stockton and have walked along the breakwater.

I understand most people are curious, me included but any items that make up our history should be given the respect and left alone.

Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to read my blog.

Love Janice

 Hi Jacqui,

It is always lovely  to see you pop in, yes it is a real shame people feel they have to  walk among the wreckage and not realising they are doing so much damage.

We did see the Pasha Bulker on the news, gee 2007, that long already, where does time fly? Glad to hear that you & Jodi had a close up experience with her, must have looked  enormous.

Love Janice

 Yes mand people should leave Buster alone for other generations to be able to enjoy.

I like the  way  you  think, putting up fake pink flowers wrapped in the vine, must have looked great for people to think they were real.

Love Janice 

 You are in my thoughts often when I go walking along my beach, sweetie but for real would be just fantastic....maybe when I get my butt over there, I will pack bags for you & Chloe and just kidnap you both....then I would know you are safe from all harm.

Love You Multi Millions Mum xxxx for certain.

 Lets go discovering together Helen, when I come to visit you & when you come to visit me....what great adventures we could have together.

Your on!

Love Janice xxx

 I had never seen a Hibiscus like this one till we moved here, we have other Hibiscus but they are only one colour so we think it is only the Wild one that does this,  still fascinates we every year it comes into flower.

Buster  is slowly being covered again but not as quick as we would like for the two reasons you name, the elements and the looters.

Love Janice

 Yes dear Annie,  Buster is only about another 50 yards up the beach from where we turned around to come back to our men folk.

Magic feet hey Annie, thankyou....yes it is the first time we have seen Buster  whole and most likely will never do again, once he is covered up again.....it has been so exciting. When I do my walks I walk right down to Buster then turn around and cone back.

Love Janice

thats so cute!!!

i could watch all day

made me laugh  thanks janice

hugs and kisses annie xxxooo

 If you have the opportunity to get up to see Buster, would be great she is slowly being covered up once again...if we don't get all that rain they are expecting & yes it is raining here again, grrhhh, just drying out.

Do you still have my phone number maybe have time for a coffee???

Love Janice

Footy was cancelled on Saturday. Wonder why! Is she still all uncovered?  The rain is sure back again!

You will have to email your number again and we'll catch up next time I'm up. L hasn't had CHECK for a couple of weeks so haven't been up. But might be going next week.

 Dear Griz,

Finally got to go and see if Buster is still uncovered alas he is....was not happy I could not get to walk down to him as the tide was right in and no beach left to walk on...am so missing my walks along the beach, especially today the sun is shining and NO RAIN, Yippeee!!!!

So you still have a chance to see Buster.

Love Janice

 Will let you know if Buster is still uncovered when I get a chance to get to the beach, with you know what RAIN, grh getting beyond a joke just has not stopped since wednesday.,,,,our  tootsies are growing webs between them HaHa!

Will email you my number.

Love Janice

 It is certainly an awesome piece of history, it has been a pleasure to see Buster uncovered in my lifetime.  Just to think this grand ship travelled thousands of sea miles to get here and help many a settlement from Australia to New Zealand, supplying timber it is amazing. Buster helped in making history for many places and now a part of history.

Much Love JJ xxxxx

 Well these idiots need to keep their cotton picking fingers off Buster, Oops am I being naughty????

You have a Hawaiian garden also Vicki, with some lovely colours...we have a crimson and yellow one, but this wild Hibiscus still fascinates me every year...one day pink then white the next.

You have been in my thoughts often, hope you hanging in there.

Love & Hugs Janice 

 How about that Marg having a piece of Canada right here on our beach, where I walk. Yes my friend I can imagine  building that beauty way back then....When we first shifted up here, we got our hands on a book  all about the past history and how Woolgoolga  cam about, makes for very interesting reading. All of the ships that sailed into our harbour came from either Canada or England.

Before they built a pier the Bullocks team with the use of chains would pull the logs from the Timber Mills down to the beach...then they would float the logs out to the ships...then  men would load from the ocean  onto the ship. How far have we come, sometimes I feel  it isn't all good and we have become soft with all the modern fast racing technology.

A Hibiscus how about that also...the plant you bring in for part of the year, that you can't move around haha! A couple more special things that bind us together, my dear friend.

Love Ya Morest.

Found Avro, he is not happy has No Red Ball!!!!

Haaahaaaa!!!  You are far too cute and clever!  That does look like Avro sulking away and who knows were that red ball is???  History really is something isn't it!  Specially when you can see it, put never touch to harm!  You are so right, how dare they!

 Yes Avro sulking, where is his Red Ball??????

Especially taking pieces and just dropping them somewhere else where they have been found, they are destroying history how senseless.

 No Pauline I was not  racing across the beach chasing puppies

HaaHaa!

We even heard of someone taking a Angle Grinder to Buster how mindless is that?

Lots of Love to the both of you also.

Janice
