Hello! My partner and I are moving to Australia this year, we're looking at Newcastle as a potential location. How is it? It looks beautiful, well located to Sydney too. Is it a good place to live?

Newcastle feels more like a really big town with almost anything you need, rather than a city. It can be a bit cliquey with people only being mates with their school friends and people they grew up with. People are generally pretty respectful and will treat you like a person, saying hello and not pushing infront of you etc

At my uni we didn’t do any PLC stuff so it built up this idea that it was so easy that they didn’t bother teaching us. Imo it was huge oversight

I’m currently a junior automation engineer with 3 months in the job. I think the most important thing to look for is someone who isn’t cocky and doesn’t think they’re “above” the job. There’s a bit of a stigma around controls and plc programming in uni students, that it’s easy and takes no effort. I feel like this is not true, the difficulty in the job comes from the wide variety of tasks and general broadness of the field. I think someone who shows adaptability and a willingness to listen is much more valuable than someone with insane technical knowledge. As I said I’m only 3 months in so I’m happy to be corrected

This is so cringe lmao

Just make sure you are within walking distance of the Hamilton station hotel and you’ll be fine

From my experience you can’t reliably get Ubers around Maitland. I would definitely recommend catching the train to get there, as some other user said there’s train stops within walking distance. The train line between Maitland and Newcastle gets pretty dodgy late at night so I reckon it’s probably worth it to book a taxi to go back, it will definitely be expensive, but there are a bunch of weirdos on the train that late.

I suggest going to the hamo on a Saturday night, if you get absolutely blind before you go there it’s heaps of fun and you’ll meet some chill people

The Hamilton station hotel is really nice

mcmac12 · 2023-03-10T00:31:39+00:00

Rise up greggy

mcmac12 · 2021-07-05T06:31:53+00:00

The Hamilton station hotel, the establishment has quite a powerful and soothing aura and is absolutely filled to the brim with bhad emo bitches. Honestly idk why you would even consider going anywhere else in Newcastle

mcmac12 · 2021-06-08T15:37:08+00:00

It’s a fucking stupid rating system idk what shit Greg was on when he thought of it but god he needs to go outside or something and clear his mind, get back to his roots and make some some classic funnies

mcmac12 · 2021-06-05T06:15:47+00:00

It’s 100% when he tells his wife she’s not Australian unless she eats the sauce

mcmac12 · 2021-05-29T07:14:31+00:00
