"Review from a local"

Many people from outside the area judge Newcastle by the Newcastle CBD but you have to go to the outer suburbs of Newcastle to really get a feel of what Newcastle is like. Suburbs like Warners Bay, Speers Point, Valentine and Elebana are great for walks along the lake, bbqs, parks or family picnics whereas suburbs like Kotara and Charlestown have both got huge recently renovated shopping centres. Like any town there are good and bad suburbs; if you visited jesmond or waratah or Windale you would leave Newcastle saying they are a bunch or derros that let their kids run wild but if you visited New Lambton, Charlestown, Adamstown, Kotara, Suburbs near Warners Bay or Merewether you would leave Newcastle saying its relaxed and people are friendly. Newcastle is very hard to judge because each surrounding suburb and street is different...its full of young, middle age and older families, wealthy and low income earners, working couples, retirees, There is such a vast majority of people here...... One thing I can say though is Newcastle isnt laid back like places like Ulladulla (Ive just been on holiday there), it contstantly feels busy and people arnt as approachable......I have mixed feelings about Newcastle because it depends on the people you comeacross each week, one week you might think everyone is so friendly and happy but another week you might come across cranky rude people and hate the place...........My point is Newcastle changes from suburb to suburb day to day and everyones experience is different. You will either love it or hate it.
