About Fort Scratchley

Raised by the British in 1882, Fort Scratchley was built to defend Newcastle against attacks. Highlights at the fort include a set of massive military guns used to ward off a Japanese submarine during World War II, as well as five Museum Rooms filled with military relics, coal mining memorabilia and artefacts celebrating the cultural legacy of the native Awabakal people.

As you explore the complex, peer into a variety of original buildings, including the Old Guardhouse, Barracks, Canteen and Commandant's Cottage. Time your visit to coincide with the daily 1pm gunfire or sign up for a guided tour for behind-the-scenes access to the underground tunnels.

In addition to showcasing the rich local history, Fort Scratchley commands sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Bring the entire family and pack a picnic to enjoy lunch on the grassy foreshore. From July to November, Newcastle is a top whale-watching destination, so keep an eye out for humpbacks breaching offshore.

Getting there

Fort Scratchley is an easy 15-minute walk or five-minute bus ride from Newcastle’s city centre. You can also access the fort via Bathers Way, a coastal walking path stretching from Nobbys Beach to Merewether Beach.
