The 20-month wait for upgrades to Newcastle ocean baths will soon be forgotten as we plunge back in and dig our toes into its sandy bottom. We will be able to enjoy iconic features such as the slightly modified green bleachers seats, the butcher block, the round art deco stairs and the sandy bottom.
It is great to have lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes confirm that the sandy bottom has been retained. There was some doubt about the sandy bottom when council reports and representatives talked about the sand on the floor of the pool being dependent on inundation.
