Coal Loaders

This is another photo taken last Sunday, this one was also in Newcastle on our way home from the play.

I did well to not get any cars in the picture and two of the coal loaders. I add that David was driving, and we were travelling about 70 km.

These are the loaders that load coal onto the ships.

Wow, cool capture.

[Dorothy]

Very interesting. Do you know where most of the coal is shipped to?

[Babs]

@illinilass I think it is mainly shipped to Asia in particular China, Japan, and Korea

If you look closely at this picture, you can see the white part behind the front coal loader and that is the bridge of the bulk carrier ship.

@robz Yes, it is a busy road, but this was on a Sunday about 4 pm so the traffic was quite light at that time of day. I was lucky not to get any cars in the picture.
