Newcastle Memorial Walk

Newcastle Memorial Walk is a breathtaking 450m coastal walkway, offering unparalleled views of Newcastle's coastline, the city, and the expansive Hunter Valley.

This impressive structure was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli and the commencement of steelmaking in Newcastle, serving as both a tribute and a historical monument to the men and women of the Hunter region who served their community and country.

The walk is highlighted by a 160m cliff-top bridge, which is adorned with striking steel silhouettes of soldiers and inscribed with close to 4,000 family names of nearly 11,000 known Hunter Valley men and women who enlisted during World War I.

Newcastle Memorial Walk also forms a key part of the Bathers Way, a scenic six kilometre coastal route that links the city’s iconic beaches, stretching from Merewether Ocean Baths to Nobbys Beach.
