This is a short offset multi, in a little park on Parnell Place. The park is between Nobby and Newcastle Beaches and very close to Newcastle Baths.
In the centre of the park you will find the Jubilee Coal Monument. Newcastle and its region were famous for coal, and the monument was erected in 1909 to celebrate the changes in coal mining and shipping technology in the 50 years since 1859. Newcastle today is the world's biggest coal port - no longer something to be proud about.
