About Newcastle

Perched between a working harbour and beautiful beaches, Newcastle is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, bursting with energy and creativity. The emerging food scene here is evident in the great restaurants, bars and outdoor cafés around the city. Darby Street, in Cooks Hill is a bohemian strip with eclectic boutiques, bookshops and cafés.

Discover the Bogey Hole at Newcastle Beach, a hand-hewn ocean rock pool carved out of a cliff face by convicts in the 19th century. Be sure walk the Bathers Way, a 5-km coastal walk from Nobbys Light House to Merewether and swim in the Merewether Ocean Baths, the largest in the southern hemisphere. Finally, you can see a variety of bird species plus koalas, kangaroos and wombats at Blackbutt Reserve.
