Newcastle Trip

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.

Useful Tips:
- Pick up a Newcastle map from the Maritime Centre at Honeysuckle, and check the tour times at Fort Scratchley to make a tour of the site or tunnels underground, a real highlight.
- Take a moment to stop and watch busy tugs and 300m freight ships navigate the harbour.
- Read the information signs along the way – there are some quirky facts to learn that will help you unravel Newcastle’s story.
- Stop for coffees throughout Newcastle East – the cafes are small, quirky and full of locals.
- Stop for a beer or wine at the View Factory Arts Café on Scott Street, and immerse yourself in our Byron Bay-like local music culture.
