Newcastle Beach

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

    This is in reality a photo Nobbys Beach and taken from Nobbys headland just below(or at) the signal station/lighthouse. It is interesting to note the old railway on the beach. This was used to construct the breakwater between Nobbys beach and the (then) Nobbys island. Incidentally, Newcastle beach is approx. 1 km over the hill (Fort Scratchly) in the upper left of the photko.

    It is interesting to note that Horseshoe Beach (on the other side of the breakwater through the centre of the image) is now completely filled with sand and is no longer a horseshoe.

    @ PhM - wrong way around - see Zoomify image.

    As previously mentioned this photo is reversed. The shadow/double exposure seems to be of the BHP which would not be in that position in the photo.

    Not "Sydney Harbour" - that has to be Newcastle.

    Possibly from Stockton looking east - GoogleMapsStreetView

    beachcomber australia Thank you for correcting that beachcomber. Perhaps this might be TOURAINE in Newcastle in 1913? The hull doesn't seem as white, though this is a dark photograph.
