A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!
From the 1920’s to the 1970’s, the site functioned primarily as
a transfer depot for coal from bulk carriers to smaller coal-fired
vessels. The Balls Head Coal Loader was extremely advanced
for its time, breaking records by delivering nearly 2500 tons of
coal in under 20 hours.
In 1934, the lease was taken up by the Wallarah Coal
Company which had a mine near Newcastle and a wharf on
the coast at Catherine Hill Bay. They would operate the loader
for nearly 40 years.
Work at the Coal Loader fell away until the 1970s when the
place was completely refitted to supply export coal to Japan.
Later the jetty was lengthened to accommodate larger colliers.
By the 1990s technology and social change spelled the end
of operations at the Balls Head Coal Loader. The world had
not lost its appetite for coal – in fact it had never been greater.
But that meant exports directly from Newcastle in ships too
large to dock at Balls Head. The ships took on their final load of coal in 1992.

Not one of my best shots as it was taken with a Canon Sureshot which is a fixed focus and offset viewfinder.

Phew! Wasn't sure I was going to get to my LOAD layout today! Managed to tie in the boat prompt too. I somehow missed getting a photo of the water taxi, but here are my girls horsing around while we waited for on last Fall.
A fruitless early start in search of new locations meant I missed a decent looking sunrise but found some nice conditions at Lamaload Reservoir later on. Lamaload was the first place in the UK where Lamas were bred to swim underwater for their waterproof wool. Press L to view large.
