Newcastle: the birthplace of famous artists
With more artists per capita than any other Australian city, the thriving arts scene of the city is a must-see. Newcastle gave birth to several popular artists like painter and sculptor William Dobell, the singer Catherine Britt and choreographer Dein Perry. Book accommodation in Newcastle’s city centre to be closest to some of the best theatres and art galleries.
Victorian terrace houses populate the city’s inner suburbs and Newcastle's public spaces charm visitors with intriguing sculptures such as the James Cook Memorial Fountain in Civic Park. Constance the Camel, a statue which resides in front of the Newcastle Museum, is equally eye-catching.
The prime attraction for art lovers is the Cooks Hill Gallery, which is home to the second-largest collection in New South Wales with over 6,100 works of art. Free entrance every day as well as free guided tours at weekends make it popular with locals and visitors alike. Take a short stroll from the gallery to the Civic Theatre, one of the most renowned venues in the region for live concerts, comedy and theatre.
Dating from 1929, Newcastle City Hall is an equally impressive example of architecture. A grand entrance leads to the concert hall whose interiors are dressed in murals painted by the famous painters John Montefiore and John Olsen. Completed in 1877, the customs house is another important historical building which stands right across the street from the iconic Victorian Newcastle Railway Station.

Stylish nightclubs, themed restaurants and atmospheric wine bars are great places to enjoy craft beer and fine dining and to sample Newcastle's relaxed and unpretentious nightlife.

A ten-minute walk west leads to the CBD, the city’s fine dining spot. After a hearty dinner take a walk down Watt Street, the story of which is narrated by colourful digital-art projections on the church and the historic buildings. Linger over a glass of wine at one of the upmarket lounges at Honeysuckle Harbour Foreshore and watch the freight ships ply their way.
