Anzac Memorial Bridge

The Anzac Memorial Bridge sits on Memorial Drive at The Hill, on Newcastle's dramatic coastline. Part of the scenic Bathers Way coastal walk, this striking memorial footbridge honours the Anzacs while offering spectacular clifftop views over the ocean, the coastline and Newcastle's beaches — a moving and beautiful spot that's become a highlight of the coastal walk.

The appeal is that combination of genuine commemoration, striking design and breathtaking coastal views: the bridge is both a meaningful memorial and a wonderful vantage point, with sweeping ocean outlooks, the chance to spot whales in season, and a place on one of the country's loveliest coastal walks. It's a special, reflective stop with views to match.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 300 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The bridge and coastal walk are free and open, but the clifftop setting is exposed and conditions vary with the weather, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking sun protection — while enjoying the memorial, the striking bridge and the spectacular ocean views that make this such a special part of Newcastle's coast.
