Welcome to Newcastle
Just two hours’ drive north of Sydney is Newcastle, the heartbeat of the Hunter and the only Australian city simultaneously on the beach and the harbour waterfront. Newcastle’s stunning beaches, laidback lifestyle, fascinating harbour and eclectic arts scene are shining through the shadow of an industrial heritage.
Spectacular natural assets encircle the city, such as Glenrock Coastal Reserve, Blackbutt Reserve’s wildlife sanctuary, The Hunter Wetlands Centre and the spectacular Stockton sand dunes, stretching 33kms.
Explore and uncover the city’s streetscapes and waterfronts and make yourself at home.
