The Grid - Shortland

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

Walking the grid this week was like walking with nature. Shortland Wetlands Centre is pretty hidden away but I was drawn here for the annual photography competition they run. I find myself coming back to sit on the café balcony and watch the wildlife come and go as I sip on my coffee. I did learn something from this grid walk and that is wildlife also includes the slithering kind, so stay on the tracks.
