Spotlight on Newcastle - eNews August 2018

Welcome to One Door Newcastle

Drive 160km north of Sydney and you will find yourself in Australia’s second oldest city. Newcastle has a long and interesting history including being the birthplace of Australia’s first coal mine, first convict lumber yard, first Australian railway, home of Arnott’s biscuits, the first Aussie city to elect a female Lord Mayor – Joy Cummings – home to Marcia Hines and Jennifer Hawkins, and has produced the most dancers to the Australian Ballet Company than any other city.

Additionally, One Door Mental Health Newcastle is the hub of mental health supports and services in the Hunter region.
