A look back at the week that was, through the eyes of the Newcastle Herald's talented photographers.
This week the Herald's photographers were in the thick of the action as the Newcastle Jets defeated F3 rivals the Central Coast Mariners at Hunter Stadium, and getting dusty in the crowd at Mumford & Sons' Gentlemen of the Road festival at Dungog.
You'll find 'The week in Focus', a selection of their very best photos, on our website each week as we head into the weekend.
