Doughheads Donut shop is an adorable little bakery found in the middle
of the Hunter Street shops. Their donuts are legendary, and they come in
flavors like Caramel Toast, Nutella, Cinnamon Sugar, and Top Deck, a
donut drenched in chocolate ganache and topped with white chocolate
shavings. (Is your mouth watering yet?)

After a bus ride and a quick walk to the shop, I happily ordered a
Caramel Toast and a Top Deck donut. I spent $9 AUD for two donuts and
ate undoubtedly hundreds and hundreds of calories.
WORTH IT. These were, and I say this with utmost certainty, by far the best donuts I have eaten in my entire life. And I have had some pretty great donuts in my twenty or so years of existence.

As we walked along three of the local beaches, we came across many
surfers. It was 70*F/21*C today, and gorgeously sunny. This is the best

Below are a few of my first attempts at photographing surfers. In
hindsight, this probably is pretty creepy, but what they do is so cool. (Side
note: if you are one of the surfers pictured and somehow stumbled upon
this blog, thank you for being such a cool subject to photograph!)

Between the donuts, shopping, photography, and beach walking, we stayed in downtown Newcastle until sunset. As someone who loves a
good sunset, I was amazed when I realized that I had yet to fully see,
appreciate, and photograph an Australian sunset. So, here you go: Aussie
Sunset, Take 1.
Finally, before I go, I thought I would give you all one more update:
The Seagull Feud is alive and well. While they did decide to pose for me
today, I still got some low fliers at the beach and some very sinister
looks from them. War strategies are being drawn up as we speak. To be
