A short half hour drive south takes you to Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest salt water lake. A common misconception is that Newcastle is Australia’s seventh largest city in terms of population. The area that this statistic refers to actually extends well beyond both the boundaries of the City of Newcastle and the Newcastle metropolitan area. The population of the City of Newcastle was, in fact, around 155,000 in 2016.

Newcastle Harbour World’s Largest Export of Coal

Lieutenant John Shortland was the first European to discover the area now known as Newcastle. At the time he was, in fact, looking for some convicts who had captured HMS Cumberland and happened to enter a “very fine river” on his return, as he described it. Today this is known as the Hunter River. His reports of the region’s abundant coal along with a deep-water port resulted in coal being mined and exported. The most dangerous convicts were punished by being sent to work in these mines and the area became known as a “hellhole”. Newcastle exports a phenomenal amount of coal largely mined in the Hunter Valley and boasts the largest coal exporting harbour in the world. In 2017 it exported 159.9 million tonnes of coal.
