  • Newcastle Fortresses
    NEWCASTLE FORTRESSES Thanks to Margaret (Marg) Gayler for this article. During World War 2, Newcastle and the surrounding coast between Nelson Bay and Swansea was fortified by Defence forces to protect the east coast of New South Wales against the enemy, in case of attack from the Japanese between 1940 and 1943. There were the established Forts along the coastline, including Fort Tomaree, Fort Wallace (Stockton), Fort Scratchley, Nobbys Head (Newcastle East) and Shepherd’s Hill (Bar Beach) and Fort Redhead. The likes of Fort Tomaree (Nelson Bay), Fort Redhead (Dudley) and combined defence force that operated from Mine Camp (Catherine Hill Bay) came online during the Second World War to also protect our coast and industries like BHP from any attempt to bomb the Industries as they along with other smaller industries in the area helped in the war effort by supplying steel, razor wire, pith hats to our armed forces fighting overseas and here in Australia. With Australia at war overseas the Government of the day during the war years decided it was an urgency to fortify our coast line with not only the Army but also with the help of Navy and Air- Force in several places along the coast. So there was established a line of communication up and down the coast using all three defence forces involved. Starting with Fort Tomaree and working the way down to Fort Redhead adding a brief description of Mine Camp and the role of the RAAF, also mentioning where the Anti Aircraft placements were around Newcastle at the time of WW2.

To develop parts of both sites for residential use, the planning controls need to be amended. A proactive approach to engage and consult with key stakeholders and neighbouring communities to the Rifle Range and Fort Wallace was undertaken between July and early December 2016.

  • "Aboriginal Occupation of the Newcastle Coastline" in Hunter
    154 ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF THE NEWCASTLE COASTLINE ----- BY L.K. DYALL University of Newcastle Historical The aborigines of the Newcastle coast did not long survive white settlement. Even before such local settlement began, it is likely that smallpox and influenza spreading from the First F leeters had wreaked havoc. By 1830 the Reverend Threlkeld was complaining at his Belmont mission station that his Herculean task of translating much of the Bible into the Awabakal tongue of the Lake Macquarie natives had been wasted, because so very few Awabakals remained. Severe droughts .struck in the 1830's. Only remnants of the Hunter Valley tribes survived that decade, and the tribal way of life was lost forever. Taking stock of our know ledge of the aboriginal tribes today, we find ourselves with little information about their implements 1 food, ceremonial centres 1 and burial customs. It is not known how many thousands of years ago the first aborigines settled in the Hunter Valley, nor by what routes they arrived here 1 and whether there have been cultural changes among them since that time. Some of this information can be obtained by a careful study of aboriginal campsites, and the Australian Museum is carrying out field work in the Hunter River estuary and the surrounding areas (references 1 and 2). Considerable work has already been done in the Upper Hunter (references 3 and 4). Much of the field work in the coastal region has been carried out by the present author, and in this article I will attempt to draw the picture of aboriginal life which emerges from these studies.
