River Traffic

Rain again today so over the next few days I am going to post photos taken while out with our walking group on Thursday. So different today to the weather a few days ago.

This collage is of some of the vessels seen on our walk along the paths and breakwater at Stockton. The Hunter River is very busy with river traffic all day long.

1. Stockton/Newcastle Ferry

2. Tug boat

3. The David Allen Dredger. The dredger operates 12 hours a day 7 days a week keeping the river bed at a safe depth for the bulk carriers to operate from the open ocean to Kooragang Island.

4. Bulk carrier being escorted out of the port to the open ocean by three tug boats.

@happypat It is interesting watching the vessels go by. This area of Stockton is at one end of Stockton beach which goes from Stockton to Anna Bay. The camels are at Birubi in Anna Bay which is st the other end of Stockton Beach and the length of the beach is 32 km, so the camels are quite a distance away.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow busy river for sure

[Tunia McClure]

[Shutterbug]
