Merewether to Queens Wharf (GNW)

Starting from Merewether, you will mostly follow the coast line to Queens Wharf. After exploring some of Newcastle's (and arguably Australia's) best beaches, the grand views from Strzelecki Lookout, you then wander through King Edward Park where you can take the optional side trip to the intriguing Bogey Hole. The walk then takes you up to more panoramic views from the The Obelisk, before you stroll through Newcastle CBD and mall to Queens Wharf. There are a few long hills, just take you time and enjoy the salt air.

Minnehaha Falls

This track takes you along a management trail across a ridge to the falls lookout. It then continues downwards to the base of the falls, a popular swimming hole. The name "Minnehana" has been spelled differently over the years. The name is derived from Longfellow's poem "Hiawatha" where the principal character is the girl Minnehaha, a name meaning "laughing water".
