*daily rates in Newcastle based on a 1 day rental (24hr period) and for guidance purposes only.

After Sydney, Newcastle has the next highest population in New South Wales and despite its wealth being built on coal, there’s plenty more for the traveller who’s collected a hire car in Newcastle. The city is at the mouth of the Hunter Valley and driving along its banks in your Newcastle hire car you’ll leave the coal fields behind and be in the land of its other famous export, high quality wine.

What can you tell me about Newcastle?
It’s a very big city whose wealth is based on coal mining and coal export having the largest coal exporting port in the world. Of more interest to visitors are the fabulous vineyards and wineries of the Hunter Valley which stretches inland nearly two hundred miles. The city is over two hundred years old and whilst most of the early industry was carried out by convict labour there are many buildings from its early days still standing and worth visiting.

How do I get to Newcastle?
Newcastle has its own airport called Newcastle Williamtown and found nine miles north of the city. Nearly 1.5 million passengers chose Newcastle Williamtown Airport last year to get into the region with a third of them flying from Brisbane. Most flights arrive from the capital and the airports of the state capitals with a few flights from smaller destinations.

Newcastle Nobbys Beach

What Should I See or Do in Newcastle?
Whilst in Newcastle, take a leisurely drive to discover the wines of the Hunter Valley and maybe stop for lunch at a winery, accompanied by a nice bottle of the estate’s produce. The city’s Christ Church Cathedral is one of its oldest buildings and has great views from the tower. If you want a beautiful beach, look out Nobby’s Beach and finally visit Fort Scratchley which defended Newcastle from an attack in 1942 by a Japanese submarine.
