About Newcastle Memorial Walk
Newcastle Memorial Walk is a 450-metre elevated coastal walkway on Strzelecki Headland at The Hill in Newcastle, New South Wales. Built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli, it opened in 2015. The steel structure features silhouettes of soldiers inscribed with family names and offers panoramic views of the coastline, city and Hunter region.
