Neighbourhoods
The heritage precinct of Newcastle was the city’s original focal points due to its important geographic position straddling the harbour and the sea. Sitting high on the headland since 1858 is Nobbys Lighthouse, which standing guard over the city, as it has done over 200 years, is Fort Scratchley. The ever-appealing Newcastle Ocean Baths are perfect for the morning dip, while Nobbys and Newcastle beach are both great swimming and surfing spots.
