Newcastle is located at the mouth of River Hunter that is 150 km north of Sydney.
This picturesque city is the sixth largest and one of the oldest in Australia.
The city is well connected by rail to major cities of Australia including Sydney,
and there is no difficulty to get in to Newcastle by train.
Newcastle is part of the City Rail network centred on Sydney. Getting to Newcastle
by train is easy as Stations in Sydney - Central, Strathfield, Epping, and Hornsbay
have train service every hour to Newcastle called the Cityrail. It would take
about three hours to travel in train while in the evening there is a faster
express train called the Newcastle Flyer. On the other hand several Countrylink
trains pass through Broadmeadow station in Newcastle but they are more expensive
than the Cityrails. Fast Countrylink trains connect Newcastle to Sydney, Brisbane
and other country centres.
The City Rail takes one to the suburbs of the city and back. It is the fastest
means of conveyance around Newcastle. The city of Newcastle boasts of a unique
tram service. These trams are really busses in the garb of trams and run on
wheels rather than on tram lines. They take the visitors through the historic
and tourist attractions of Newcastle City.
