Port Stephens, Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie & Newcastle
Our beautiful region was rated top 10 best places to visit globally in lonely planet 2011,
"Newcastle flies under the radar of Aussies and international travellers in part because it's overshadowed by its bigger, bolder and better-known sibling, Sydney, 150km south. But, at around one-tenth the size, Australia's second-oldest city has Sydney-like assets: surf beaches, a sun-drenched subtropical climate, and diverse dining, nightlife and arts. Not only is Newcastle ideally located just 1.5 hours by road or rail or 30 minutes by plane or seaplane from Sydney, it's less than an hour's drive west to the Hunter Valley wineries, south to sailboat-filled Lake Macquarie, north to whale-watching and sharkfeeding at Port Stephens and to sandboarding at Stockton Beach" (the southern end of the 32km-long beach is a five-minute ferry ride across Newcastle's harbour).
