When you are in Newcastle don’t miss the opportunity to take the Bathers Way walk. This is a great coastal walk that is around five kilometers, along surf beaches and with a convict history as well. The walk runs from Nobbys Head to the Merewether Ocean Baths in Newcastle on the New South Wales coast.

This walk will take you pack through some of Newcastle’s historic attractions and past some of its best beaches. This is a great way to learn about the convict history and culture of the area. This is Australia’s second oldest colonial settlement. You will discover convict relics and artifacts. You can inspect for yourself the foundation of the Nobbys breakwall, which were laid by convict gangs. The men worked the quarried stone against the surging seas during the eighteenth century. The Bogey Hole was carved out by the convicts around this time as well, and you will find it at the foot of Shepherds Hill. You will learn all about Fort Scratchley, which is the only fort in Australia to have fired upon an enemy vessel during World War II.

The Bathers Way is best for those wishing to enjoy the beaches around Newcastle. You will find beautiful beaches and sea pools along the walk and the water should not be resisted!
