In this creative non-fiction podcast, Narelle Austen explores the people, places, and forces behind bushranging in one of Australia’s earliest colonial regions – the Hunter Valley.

This podcast details the forthcoming podcasts that are to be recorded this February.

What’s On In 2026 Newcastle Family History Society Podcasts will be taking a short break over December and January but here’s a preview of our podcasts coming up in 2026.

In our series, Memories of Newcastle, society member Lea Harris takes us back to the days of the Stockton Tweed Factory, a forgotten piece of our local history.

Society member Jane Ison takes us on a journey into the past, to a place thousands pass by daily without knowing what lies beneath —Rest Park in Wallsend, once the site of the town’s first cemetery.

Join us on a journey through more than two centuries of sacred history — the story of Christ Church Cathedral, the spiritual heart and architectural crown of Newcastle. Presented by Ian Eckford.
