The Bogey Hole, also known as the Commandant's Baths, is a heritage-listed sea bath in Newcastle. It is thought to be the oldest surviving European construction in the city area. The pool was hewn from a sandstone/conglomerate rock shelf at the base of cliffs near Shepherds Hill. The pool has an average depth of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) and its maximum dimensions are 10 by 6.5 metres (32.8 ft × 21.3 ft). The open side of the pool is fenced by stanchions and chains. Lieutenant-Colonel James Thomas Morisset, the Commandant of Newcastle (1818–23), ordered the construction of the pool by convict labour in about 1820 for his own use.
This is a place of many memories from childhood to teenage years. Well worth a dip so when you visit be sure to bring your swim wear!
There is parking available in King Edward Park with a walk down a steep bit of road or you can park at the Shepherds Hill lookout and walk down the seaside steps. Stealth may be required at times as this is a popular summer spot but it's a wonderful place to kill some time.
You are looking for a sandwich sized sistema container. The whole area can be slippery when wet so please be careful, especially with geokids. Happy hunting!
