9 days in Newcastle Itinerary

While Newcastle is known for its coal exports, it's also made a name for itself with a cultural boom.

Explore Newcastle's surroundings by going to Tomaree Head (in Shoal Bay), Pokolbin (Keith Tulloch Wine, Thomas Wines, &more) and Nelson Bay (Nelson Head Heritage Lighthouse and Reserve & Gan Gan Lookout). There's still lots to do: go for a walk through Newcastle Memorial Walk, meet the residents at Australian Reptile Park, pause for some serene contemplation at Christ Church Cathedral, and examine the collection at Newcastle Museum.

For photos, reviews, other places to visit, and other tourist information, refer to the Newcastle sightseeing planner.

In June, daytime highs in Newcastle are 20°C, while nighttime lows are 9°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 9th (Tue) early enough to travel back home.
