Biggest city/town

Newcastle (population: 350,000)

What's it like to live there?

Newcastle is a diverse and exciting City with beautiful beaches, a working harbour and all the dining and leisure facilities a major city provides. It was recently voted ninth in the 2011 Lonely Planet's Top 10 Cities in the World guide.

Novocastrian people are friendly and down-to-earth riding on their working class and multicultural background. As a result, Newcastle is passionate about its sporting teams and its diverse arts and cultural community.

With all the amenities of Sydney but without the hustle and bustle, traffic and overcrowding, Newcastle offers sophistication and a relaxed surf culture.

Extending inland, the Hunter Valley is a world-famous wine growing district and a popular tourist destination with five-star resorts, hotels, bed-and-breakfast cottages and excellent restaurants. Along the coast, Port Stephens is a popular coastal holiday retreat with great fishing, dolphin and whale watching and numerous walking trails through protected national parks.
