You can see Callaghan well from the this park. Enjoying sunset is pretty much wonderful from Braye Park. Although parking is not able to accommodate many cars but it the view is great. Having break time is may an option at the park.

Amazing food, beautiful drinks, and super friendly staff! If you’re in Newcastle or just visiting, don’t miss this café — it’s a must-try!

My friend sent me there, he told me the sunrise is amazing. Some old creep asked if I’m interested in buying carrots and I could hear weird noises out of the bush. I guess it’s recommendable if you bring a bottle cork.

Best lookout in Newcastle with beautiful 360 degree views. You can see along Stockton Beach all the way to Port Stephens.
