A few days after I came back to Bathurst a friend mentioned that he was going to Newcastle for his practicum as he is working on becoming a paramedic. Since he would be there for a few days, he said I could come and take a look around the area and maybe even get a flight on his dad's ultralight plane. I actually drove his car there the entire way from Bathurst to Newcastle which is about 4.5 hours or so, and managed to do alright considering the fact I am on the opposite side of the road.
On the first night there, we just went for dinner with his family and then played at an APL (Australian Poker League) game for fun, and I actually managed to do pretty well despite my lack of experience.
The next day my friend had to work, and he lent me his car so I went off to some of the beaches in the area and some of the sand dunes.

The next day my friends dad offered to take my on the ultralight plane over Newcastle which was a very cool experience and something that I have been wanting to do for ages. It wasn't quite the warmest of the nicest day for it, but it was good enough to go and it was really cool flying low over the beach and having the people below wave at us.

I spent another night there before making my way back to Bathurst for my last week there.
