Blackbutt

by Doug Hall on February 27, 2011

Each week “The Grid” captures moments in a selected area of Newcastle & the Hunter region that they might not otherwise see or notice.

Blackbutt is a well known for its reserves and wildlife. One early morning this week I walked the surrounding streets when people were shuffling to work on the roads yet I didn’t get a sense of being rushed. The locals were a little curious about a man taking photos in their part of the world.
