Explore New South Wales
Overview
Newcastle is the second-oldest city in Australia. For a scenic look at the city and coastline stroll Bathers Way Walk, which links Merewether Ocean Baths to Nobbys Beach. Other must-see sights in Newcastle include ANZAC Memorial Walk, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing in Gallipoli during the First World War; Bar Beach, which boasts a natural rock pool; and the Newcastle Art Gallery, Australia’s first purpose-built regional gallery.
When to Go
The best time to visit Newcastle is spring and autumn when the weather is mild and pleasant and the crowds fewer. Keep in mind that Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, so spring is September to November and autumn is March to May.
