Two water bombing helicopters and 16 fire fighting units have spent most of the day working to contain a bushfire at Dudley.

The fire is thought to have taken hold in the Awabakal Nature Reserve between Dudley and Redhead early this morning with a southerly wind pushing a blanket of smoke toward Newcastle.

Fire units positioned themselves for property protection along Ocean Street while water bombing helicopters worked on the seat of the blaze in thick bushland.

Fire fighters will continue to work on containment lines into the evening.
