The Newcastle East
Heritage Walk links spectacular coastal views and industrial heritage
that is the essence of Newcastle. A comfortable 1 ½ to 2 hour
self-guided tour has been mapped out to highlight the critical role
that Newcastle East played in establishing Newcastle and the Hunter
Region as the second busiest economy in the State. This local area has
been intensively used and adapted by different types of industry,
transport, and residential living. There are layers on layers that in
many cities would have been lost by ‘progress’. Highlights include The
Lock Up, Customs House, the Convict Lumber Yard, Fort Scratchley
Historic Site, Newcastle Ocean Baths and Beach, Christ Church
Cathedral, and several historic convict-era buildings.
