Newcastle is the second-largest city in New South Wales and the sixth-largest in Australia. It is located at the mouth of the Hunter River. It is known, quite reasonably, as the `gateway to the Hunter Valley` and certainly is the commercial, administrative and industrial centre of the region. It has numerous beaches, a rich heritage of Victorian architecture, a fascinating early convict history and a substantial number of excellent restaurants and upmarket accommodation options. Today it is a modern city with an elegant and updated harbour foreshore and enough attractions to keep an interested visitor involved for at least a week.
