It is known that their heritage and cultural ties to Newcastle date back tens of thousands of years.[3] The suburb includes Fort Scratchley, Newcastle Ocean Baths and Newcastle Beach.[4] Formerly a site of heavy industry and railway yards, the suburb now contains the large Foreshore Park, and historic terraced housing.
