Wallsend, NSW - Accommodation, Attractions, Entertainment

Wallsend, NSW

Wallends is one of Newcastle’s western suburbs, about 13km from the CBD and just to the east of the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway, Wallsend is named for the small town famous for its proximity to Hadrian’s Wall, built in Northumberland, England, by the Romans in 120-123AD as a defence against marauding northern tribes.

The southern Wallsend was originally a coal mining town, established in 1858 by the Newcastle-Wallsend Coal Company. The town developed to house and service the miners, most of whom came from England. Wallsend is close to the Awaba State Forest which is a popular escape for the bush-walking.
