This is the view from the exercise yard at the Lock-up in Newcastle. This is what the inmates got to see when they went out into the exercise yard. I liked this photo because I couldn't imagine what it would be like if this was the only view of the sky I could see. The building on the right is one of the old government buildings from the 1860s, built when Newcastle stopped being a convict settlement. I think it's the old courthouse.
I took the photo last week. I have been working on a small publication with the Hunter Writer's Centre on the cell wall scratchings. We were down in the cells re-shooting some of the photos. The project is close to completion. We have laid out the book and written all the text for it. Now we need to find a cover, and a printer.
