Corlette is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[1] It is located just west of Nelson Bay on the shores of Port Stephens.[3][5] It was named after Captain James Corlette who skippered the 63 tonnes (62 long tons) cutter Lambton which was the first privately owned local vessel.[3] Corlette first used it to ship timber and wool out of Port Stephens in 1816.[6] While property values throughout the suburb average around A$1,100,000 in the most affluent areas on the shores of Salamander Bay individual sale prices of $3.7 million have been realised.[7] It has many local tourism attractions including Bagnalls Beach Reserve, Port Stephens Shell Museum, Blue Water Sailing and Nude Kayaks.[8]
