Newcastle Memorial Walk

An awe-inspiring walk along cliff tops, built in 2015 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli. It stands as a memorial to the men and women of the Hunter who served their community and their country in that horrific conflict. The walk features a 160 metre cliff top bridge adorned with steel silhouettes of soldiers inscribed with close to 4,000 family names of almost 11,000 known Hunter Valley men and women who enlisted during World War I. It also links to Council's Bathers Way promenade development, a six kilometre coastal walk linking Newcastle’s beaches and stretching from Merewether Ocean Baths to Nobbys Beach. The walkway is 450 metres long and links Newcastle’s Strzelecki Lookout with Bar Beach. The walkway winds around the cliff edge, offering unsurpassed views of the coastline, city and up into the Hunter Valley.
