Day 193 Friday, February 11th. Moving Australia to China. Defense against Japan.
We drive north from Terrigal to visit the coastal town of Newcastle. It’s a port and all the large boats are lined up waiting to pick up Australian coal and ship it to China, an important part of Australia’s economy. Also lots of $1m + recreational yachts parked here.
Lots of left-over WWII fortifications here. Japan was always threatening and did submarine patrols here to try and stop supplies reaching the UK and Europe.
