Newcastle offers some interesting photographic opportunities and interesting sights. Here are a few photos I recently took on the way towards the library.
Darby street is within walking distance from central Newcastle city. There is a lot of art and alternative type shops situated in Darby street as well as a variety of cafes and restaurants that cater for the trendy rather than the alternative. There is a sense of “keeping up with the Jones” when you walk past the latte sipping trend setters having lunch sitting outside the restaurants. Actually the work “pretentious” plays on your mind here but that is soon forgotten when you see some of the great shops that are offered in Darby street. There are some art shops [ ... ]
I recently visited the Stockland Shopping Centre at Glendale Newcastle and I was quite surprised and happy to find it offers plenty of shops and variety. From everything from JB Hi-Fi to A full cinema complex, this place is a great place to do all your shopping in one place without the mall.
Here is a list of the current shops at their official website as well as more information.
You can view a video below as well of a tour of the shopping centre.

I have been staying near the city centre of Newcastle, NSW for the last 4-5 days. It really has been an enjoyable place to do some photography and walk the streets to view the historic buildings and heritage.
I walked along a street called Darby street a couple of days ago and viewed some inspiring photography in one of the art shops. After that I decided to take a series of photos along the waterfront.
Newcastle has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with a mixture of younger students to more matured locals who appreciate a good coffee, art and music. There seems to [ ... ]
The only YHA in Newcastle, NSW offers a comfortable atmosphere and central location. The hostel has a large kitchen/dining area downstairs. There seems to be plenty of bedrooms in this character building. The main staff are welcoming and friendly.
This hostel is very impressive in all areas. From the friendly male staff on arrival to the cleanliness and facilities, this YHA is easily the best I have stayed at. The female staff were ok but not as welcoming or as helpful.
I had expected this place to be good but it more than met my expectations. It has stunning views from the top large deck area. You are able to get a closeup inspection of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House right outside your room. It is stunning and breath taking views so bring your camera. Especially at sunset and night [ ... ]
It has been about a year since I had stayed here at Australia’s largest YHA. I arrived to collect my new membership after traveling overseas. My room was waiting for me as I had booked easily online. The staff had also replied promptly to my email questions about baggage and getting there from the airport.
The staff even tried to let me check in earlier than the 12pm check in time but the room was still not ready so I had to leave some bags in storage. You can pay for storage from about $4 for 4 hours for a good [ ... ]
