About Newcastle and Port Stephens
Located in New South Wales, Australia, Newcastle is a vibrant city known for its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and lively arts scene. The currency used in Australia is the Australian Dollar. Port Stephens, on the other hand, is a coastal region known for its stunning natural beauty, including pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Both destinations offer a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for travellers.
When to visit
The best time to visit Newcastle and Port Stephens is during the spring months of September to November when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. Summer (December to February) is also a popular time to visit for beach lovers. However, be prepared for crowds and higher accommodation prices during this time.

Don't forget to pack sunscreen and a hat when visiting Newcastle and Port Stephens, as the Australian sun can be quite strong. Make sure to try the local seafood, which is a must-try delicacy in both destinations. If you're planning to visit popular attractions, it's advisable to book tickets in advance to avoid long queues. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as dolphins and whales when exploring the coastal areas. Lastly, be respectful of the indigenous culture and heritage of the region.
