Overview
Newcastle, New South Wales is a former steel milling town which still has a big focus on heavy industry and engineering. Now quite a cosmopolitan city with waterfront cafes, luxury river-side real estate and all the services one could want, it still has a big blue-collar heart. Because of this there are several advantages for the long distance cruising sailor to visit Newcastle, and it's often cheaper and easier to have major boat refit and repair work done here rather than in Sydney or elsewhere in New South Wales.
For example, steel boat owners will find a range of services from steel milling, stainless steel manufacturing, welding and other related services available here with better quality workmanship and lower prices than would be found in Sydney.
Even without major refitting work required, berthing options in Newcastle are easily available, and Newcastle affords the visitor access to some of the best coastal and inland scenery in this part of the world -- not to mention access to the famous Hunter Valley wineries area where one could easily lose oneself for a weekend or longer.
