Newcastle ANZAC Memorial Walk and Bridge at Strzelecki Lookout

Copyright - All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond Images

"Officially opened in April 2015, the Newcastle Memorial Walk is a picturesque 450m long bridge and boardwalk, dedicated to the memory of fallen soldiers from World War I.

Several viewing platforms along the way give visitors great views of Newcastle, its long beaches and the Tasman Sea.

The Newcastle Memorial Walk was built to commemorate not only the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC’s landing at Gallipoli, but also the commencement of the steel industry in Newcastle.

The Newcastle Council and BHP Billiton shared much of the total cost of this beautiful addition to Newcastle’s coastline.

BHP Billiton established their first steel-making facilities in Newcastle in 1915, the same year our allied forces arrived in Gallipoli. This is the reason why 64 tonnes of solid steel were used to build the 160m long bridge.

Because of its vulnerable location right next to the ocean in a strong wind area, it was important to use durable materials to construct the bridge.

The boardwalk on top of the bridge is decorated with steel silhouettes of soldiers. They are engraved with thousands of family names of men and women from Newcastle and the Hunter Valley who served in the Great War.

You will also find interesting panels with more information about the war and listings of locations where other battles took place.

The 450m long Memorial Walk consists of two main sections. The first section starts at the famous Strzelecki lookout and takes you over the bridge to the next major viewing platform.

The second part of the walk is a stairway that connects the Memorial Walk to the Bathers Way and Memorial Drive.

The Bathers Way is a 6km long coastal walk that takes you from Nobbys Head Lighthouse in the north to Merewether Ocean Baths in the south."
