Let's go find the Novocastrians...

So we intended to review the Gateway Hotel, the Cambridge Hotel, the Suspension Cafe, Lass O'Gowrie, Hamilton Station, the View Factory, Goldbergs and the Wicko. There were some modifications to the schedule as you'll see. The View Factory looked worthy of our attention for dinner or something but we never made it back there. Cambridge Hotel had good reports from the locals. We never got any further than the Gateway on Saturday night. The Wicko, Lass O'Gowrie, Hamilton Station and Gateway looked like standard provincial hotel pubs but we probably shouldn't judge from the outside as the Gateway turned out to have a hidden nightclub out the back.

Let the great review begin...

Yup, that's it

The reviewers outside Goldbergs

Suspension has coffee. And that's about it. No chains. No whips. No beer.

Gateway is gay for real. Unfortunately my camera did its special black and white thing as we tried to capture the rainbow flag

Ultimately, we found lesbians in Newcastle. Best talent @ Gateway and Goldbergs. Best shag toilets @ Sesame's. Best staff @ Sesame's. Best music @ Suspension. Best overall experience @ Goldbergs. Oh yeah, and remember to head to the beach. There's a nice cafe with yummy banana bread where you can sit and watch the surfers. Such a novelty for a Canberra gal.

Indie.
