Hi there. We are moving to Victoria in 8 weeks but will be moving up to Newcastle mid July next year. After EXTENSIVE research we narrowed it down to 2 options. Firstly Salamander Bay/Nelson Bay/Corlette - up in the Port Stephens area. Our other option as mentioned by others was Belmont. We chose these areas after checking out the schools; crime reports, property prices and talking to people we know who come from Newcastle. The school that we found in Belmont that we loved was Belmont Christian College (age 4-18). In Salamander Bay it was St Philips. After much debate we have finally reached our decision and we are heading to the beautiful costal area of the Bay. The school - again 4-18 could take all our children and the area is just paradise. Check it out on google earth and look at the pics! There are plenty for our kids to do in the Bay and its seems such a waste to move to somewhere as beautiful as NSW and Hunter Valley and not live near the sea.
Hope all goes well for you. If you're heading to that part of the Hunter Valley - keep in touch.
Blessings, Sarah
