03. Convent Hill

At the apex of the hill, you will see the steps to Convent Hill School. This entire piece of land was mined for coal by a tiny one-man operation, in conjunction with the Catholic Church. Walking up the steps, you are standing on top of the place where the Greta Top Seam begins. At the top, you will see a beautiful view of Cessnock City and surrounds. It looks a little different today than around the turn of the century.
