Newcastle East is best known for its Fort Scratchley, Newcastle Ocean Baths and Newcastle Beach. Just east of Newcastle’s central business district at the Hunter River’s mouth, it also carries deep Awabakal and Worimi heritage, with cultural ties reaching back tens of thousands of years. Once home to heavy industry and railway yards, the suburb now features Foreshore Park and historic terraced housing.
