An evening in Newcastle, Australia - #2
Newcastle, NSW, Australia. A city that has so much! It offers great beaches (one that hosts an International Surfing Competition), beautiful coastal walks and, a wonderful selection of Cafes, Restaurants and, Pubs. About half an hours drive to the west is the Hunter Valley, world known for its wonderful wineries and products of the vine plus the awesome food that can be found in Restaraunts attached to those vineyards. Also to the west is Lake Macquarie, a 20 minute drive from Newcastle. It is a city in its own right that offers the largest coastal saltwater lake that covers about 110 square kilometres (about twice the size of Sydney Harbour). Of course this Lake is home to many a sailboat and fishing boat and also has some areas for a spot of bushwalking. There is a saying that a city with a horizon full of Tower Cranes and Construction Equipment is a good indicator of economic growth and a key indicator of a strong city. That sounds like Newcastle!
