As Australia’s sixth largest city Newcastle offers all the benefits and amenities of a large city but with all the friendliness of a regional town.
There is fascinating history to explore. Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city and home to some of the nation's most significant heritage sites.
Since the closure of BHP in 1997 Newcastle has undergone a transformation from its industrial past to a city with a vibrant arts scene, dynamic civic and cultural precinct, and growing businessand development centre.
With its stunning beaches, museum and galleries, cafes, restaurants and the Honeysuckle waterfront developments, there is plenty to find, see and do.
