Catherine Hill Bay is a secluded and sleepy old mining village in the hinterland behind the Central Coast within the City of Lake Macquarie. The village is named after the schooner "Catherine Hill" which ran aground there on 21st June 1867. Coal was discovered and mined by the New Wallsend Company which bought up the land, built a jetty and opened the mine in 1873. The coastal location facilitated shipment and avoided the bar at the entrance to Lake Macquarie. The enterprise employed up to 100 men. Their cottages formed the basis of the township and still line the roadside. Approximately 1000 tons of coal a week was taken by horse-drawn skips from the mine to a loading chute on the jetty.

A highly swimmable 10m wide pool beneath a charming little waterfall, Upper Gledhill Falls, on McCarrs Creek. Despite being very close to a fairly busy road, the only noise to be heard is the sound of gushing water and the amphitheatre of rocks and bush surrounding the pool means that on a quiet day you feel as if you are in a quiet, isolated spot. There are several boulders to negotiate to access the water but right at the waters edge there is a small, sandy beach on one side meaning that once you are here you can relax in the shade and there is a small space for children to play as well as a rope swing into the pool. This spot can get busy but it’s the perfect stop off to cool down after a walk in the nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park which boasts several of it’s own swimming spots.

Phat Diem Catholic Cathedral (Nhà Thờ Đá Phát Diệm) TT. Phát Diệm, Kim Sơn District, Ninh Bình Province, Vietnam. The Phát Diệm Cathedral (Vietnamese: Nhà thờ chính tòa Phát Diệm; French: Cathédrale de Phat Diem) is in Kim Sơn District of Ninh Bình Province of Vietnam. The architecture of the church – built in stone in 1892 – is an eclectic blend of Vietnamese and European architectural styles. Although a church, it was built with pagoda-type roofs like traditional Vietnamese temples. It was bombed in 1972 and later restored. In addition to the cathedral, the Phát Diệm complex also consists of 5 chapels. The cathedral, a towering stone edifice, was built in 1892 in the Vietnamese style, blended with stone walls built in European neo-Gothic style. To test the foundation condition of the cathedral site in a boggy area, Father Six had created a mound of limestone boulders and found the conditions not to be suitable to build it. It is decorated with box-type cupolas (domes) with "upturned tiled roofs", which are like pagodas. Père Six, who built it, was particular to haul the sand stones to build the cathedral from quarry a distance of more than 200 kilometres (120 mi) away. The eclectic design of the cathedral appears as if the pagodas "had been dropped into the towers of a Gothic church." A statue of Our Lady of La Vang in a lake by the cathedral. The overall size of the cathedral is 210 feet (64 m) in length, with a width of 60 feet (18 m). The nave of the cathedral is built over 52 pillars, of which 16 are 11-metre tall (36 ft), carved from large ironwood trees. In the front worship area, the altar is made of a single slab, ornamented in "orthodox-style" and is made of "lacquered and gilded woodwork". Above the altar, there are portrait paintings of about 30 missionaries, most of European origin. The vaulted ceiling has paintings of angels in Vietnamese style. The interior walls are decorated with Catholic iconography, but particularly have paintings of Eastern religious symbols like dragons, unicorns, tortoises and phoenixes.
