Sightseeing

Amazing views! A walkway/bridge along the ocean cliffs, which turns into a walk way right along all the beaches. Apparently this is the no. 1 selfie spot in Newcastle! About a 10-15 minute walk from my place.

Incredible ocean pool, hand carved out of the rock platform by convicts in 1819. Great for a swim and impressive photos! Accessed through King Edward Park, about a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

Nobbys Lighthouse is an active lighthouse established on Nobbys Head in Newcastle in 1854 to guide vessels into the Hunter River. It was an open coal fire that was only seen for several kilometres. The small tower is surrounded by three cottages which are significant as a record of the defence of Newcastle as it provided accommodation for defence staff during WWII (1942). In addition they are significant in their continued association with the signal station until 2001. Nobbys Head, is a prominent physical landmark with the Nobbys Breakwall providing a popular spot for visitor recreation. Spectacular views and a Great Wall along the break wall.

Built in 1882 as a former coastal defence installation to defend Newcastle against a possible Russian attack, Fort Scratchley is now a museum. It is located in Newcastle East, a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales in Australia. The Fort’s guns were not fired in anger until 8 June 1942 during the shelling of Newcastle. The Australian Army left the site in 1972.
