Heritage in Newcastle
The City of Newcastle is an Australian port city with a difference - a harbour with a picturesque coastline, an interesting topography, tree lined streets and a rich legacy of historic and architecturally significant buildings.
Without a doubt Newcastle is a truly memorable place to live and visit.
The variety and quality of Newcastle's architecture and its many urban charms, including its beaches, parklands and public spaces - are valued as important aspects of the city's identity.
