Newcastle is a modern city with a cosmopolitan mix of restaurants, shops, recreational, cultural and historic facilities set against a backdrop of pristine beaches and spectacular harbour all within a short stroll from the city centre.
Founded in 1804 as a penal settlement, Newcastle has preserved many fascinating links with its colonial beginnings, from the convict built Nobbys Breakwall, flanked by ocean and harbour, to restored buildings and historic sites.
Discover the unique Newcastle Regional Museum, Art Gallery, or the Newcastle Regional Maritime Museum. Indulge in a shopping excursion to boutiques, department stores or regional shopping centres. Ride a surf-o-plane or fly a kite at Nobbys Beach. Stroll along the Foreshore and marvel at the larger than life view of the ocean liners. One of the best places to enjoy the views while indulging in food is along the Honeysuckle dining precinct on Newcastle’s Harbour Foreshore.
Enjoy the smorgasbord of daily entertainment. Local, national and international performers present an ongoing program of music and drama throughout the year, from ultra modern clubs and atmospheric theatres to the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.
