The best way to see places around Newcastle is to self-drive, as this allows you to decide where you want to go and how much time you wish to spend in that area. There are numerous car rental operators in the city of Newcastle and also at the airport. Budget, Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Thrifty and many other operators have agencies here.

A short drive from Newcastle’s city centre is Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake. In fact, the lake is so huge that it is estimated to be four times the size of Sydney Harbour. At Toronto, visitors can visit a converted old railway station that is now a museum and Dobell House, the home of the artist William Dobell. There are also all types of water activities available to enjoy at the lake.

Although a little far from Newcastle, a visit to Catherine Hill Bay will not disappoint visitors, with its quaintness and quiet peaceful atmosphere. The village is named after the schooner, Catherine Hill, which was shipwrecked here in 1867. Soon after, coal was discovered and the village began to grow, but it has still kept its old charm. At Catherine Hill, visitors can appreciate the beauty of the bay and the bushland. Scattered around the area are pieces of rusty machinery that were once used to mine coal, reminding us of days gone past.
