About Newcastle Australia Newcastle is the second largest city in New South Wales and the sixth largest in Australia. Newcastle is located on a peninsula bounded by the Hunter River in the north and by the Pacific Ocean in the south-east. From 1831 until the present day, Newcastle has built its fortunes on coal mining and steel production. Newcastle operates one of the largest ports in Australia, particularly for the loading of Hunter Valley coal. Located at the mouth of the Hunter River on the southern shore of Port Hunter, Newcastle is rich in parklands, plazas, public promenades and heritage buildings. Newcastle is a pleasant and friendly city with the added aura of waterside living and leisure activities. Heritage buildings built in colonial times give sections of Newcastle an old-world charm right in the heart of this modern and pulsating city. The Newcastle Regional Art Gallery and Regional Museum are among the finest in Australia. The world famous wineries of the Hunter Valley extend inland from Newcastle and are a major tourist and holiday destination. Tourist attractions on offer at Newcastle include Cooks Hill Galleries, Fighter World RAAF Base, Fort Scratchley, the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens, and the Shortland Wetlands. Tourist activities at Newcastle include playing golf, horse racing, go-karts and putt-putt, and shopping at the Centenary Antique Centre. Newcastle, just two hours north of Sydney, is a central gateway to the Hunter Valley and its vineyards and wineries and the coastal resort towns of Port Stephens, Port Macquarie, The Entrance and Terrigal. |
