Photographing Waratah

by Ben Howland on December 4, 2011

I’m always looking for new vantage points on the city, and Braye Park in Waratah provides just that. With a sweeping 360 degree view, there’s barely a spot you can’t see. I worked my way from here around to the Mater Hospital and back again. Several walking paths lead you through the area, encouraging you to poke around the next corner. It seems there are some who have interesting ideas on what is appropriate to leave inbetween the bushes.

Each week “The Grid” features photos of a selected area of the Newcastle & Hunter region, capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
