Merewether is the most populated suburb in Newcastle.
Merewether beach runs along the southern coastal strip and includes the popular Merewether Ocean Baths. The suburb has good access to schools, shopping, CBD and has local social facilities, shops and a diversity of housing types. Merewether has a number of local parks, including Dixon Park near the beach, Empire Park, Mitchell Park, Campbell Park and Charlotte Street Reserve. Some of these parks include barbecue facilities and playground equipment. The area is also home to parts of Glenrock State Recreation Park, which provides walking trails and picnic facilities.
Historically, early industries were few as the area was almost exclusively devoted to coal mining. There were a number of potteries, and by 1877 there were seven brickworks operating. One hundred years later only one survived nearby to Junction School.
The first ocean baths at Merewether were built in 1926, partly in reaction to the sewerage coming from the gulf. In 1928 construction work on the existing baths began. The remains of the first small baths are still used slightly to the north. Today, Merewether is a very popular area for locals and tourist alike.Photos
