Sydney is such a great city to live in. Events, festivals, markets, the harbour, restaurants, different parks and Galleries around the city abound. Most of our weekends are spent locally, thus rarely venturing elsewhere if it's a few hours away unless it's the long weekend or we are on our annual holiday. How about enticing you somewhere further, out of your comfort zone and away from the hustle and bustle of the city of Sydney and head to Newcastle?

The second most populated area in the State of New South Wales and the largest coal exporting harbour in the world not to mention where Miss Universe 2004 Jennifer Hawkins spent some of her time as a cheerleader for Newcastle Kinighs rugby league. Newcastle is not just a traditional area of heavy industries.





Since 2003, with the initiative of an organization called Newcastle NOW and the collaboration with Live sites, they have delivered programs and had been continuing to do so with exciting events and activities attracting artists and likeminded organizations to Newcastle region.
