    Glenrock State Conservation Area protects 554 hectares of coastline about 8 kilometres south of Newcastle’s CBD, on the traditional Country of the Awabakal people. It’s a beautiful mix of headlands, beaches, and pockets of littoral rainforest, with creeks running over waterfalls and through rockpools before reaching the picturesque Glenrock Lagoon. The park also holds real historical depth, with more than 145 recorded sites, including Australia’s first railway tunnels and its first commissioned copper smelter, along with a well-loved network of walking, mountain biking, and horse riding trails.
