Bathers Way Coastal Walk Bathers Way highlights Newcastle beaches that have generated some of the World’s best surfers, but also features rugged cliffs and reefs, rock pools, huge salt water ocean baths, heritage sites and parklands. Information signs along the route highlight some of the natural and cultural features. Bathers Way is a sealed pathway and though there are some slopes, most families manage just fine. It’s also the local’s favourite walking and jogging route. At the end of the walk is Merewether beach, one of Australia’s surfing reserves, home to the international Surfest surfing competition, and location of the largest ocean baths in the southern hemisphere. |

Newcastle Golf Club A true championship course of 6160 metres (6800 yards), it is based on undulating sand dunes like those of the great historic links of Great Britain and Ireland. However, instead of fairways lined by gorse and heather, Newcastle is carved out of a forest of Eucalypts and angophoras abounding in native flora and fauna, including kookaburras, bearded dragons and kangaroos, making it a delightful as well as a challenging course to play. Although the course is situated only a few kilometres from the busy industrial city and port of Newcastle, the wide bands of trees separating the fairways give a feeling of peaceful isolation from the cares of the world. |
