Free on Friday Night?
Our friends over at Newcastle Mirage are being kind enough to host a launch party for the third edition of the Newcastle Mirage zine. If you haven't read one yet, you really should get out and pick one up! We have a monthly feature article in there showcasing some of Newcastle's best kept secrets and a guide for the best things to do in town.
Where: At the freshest new art space Shop Steel City on Hunter St.
(next door to Hamburger Haven)
(Shop 4, 451 Hunter Street.)
We will be hanging out, reading the newest issue.
Listening to cool tunes from Ibazz and #Hashtag
While enjoying a couple of cheeky beverages to celebrate the weekend.
If you like any (all) of these things then pop in and grab a copy/say hello/stop for a second to smell the roses (there will be no actual roses).

Nobby's Lighthouse now open!
Picture - Copyright Novastreamedia - please ask before reproducing
Nobby's Beach was buzzing today with the Lighthouse being open, and what better way to find out that the NSW Government have confirmed that Nobby's Lighthouse will be open EVERY SUNDAY!
Not only is it a magnificent walk, but the views are breathtaking! Exquisite art and historical photos are hung along the walls of the houses at the top of the hill and showcase an important part of Newcastle's history.
If you get to the top and you need some sustenance, there is a coffee cart with tea, coffee, water and snacks to keep your hunger at bay.
Many thanks to the volunteers who walked us around the houses and location today giving us the scoop on the history of this landmark.
Make sure you head on up to the lighthouse when you can, this is something not to be missed!
Nobby's Lighthouse is now open every Sunday.

A happy heart is a healthy heart
A
happy heart is a healthy heart
By
Jessica Tisdell
Identical
twin sisters Toni and Kate Lunavich have poured their heart and soul
into ‘Café Heart’ a new upbeat café situated at 575 Hunter
Street, Newcastle.
The
cafe has only been open a mere three weeks and in that time they have
seen a huge positive response from the local community including
hundreds of comments on their Facebook page.
The
quirky café has a kid’s corner with mini chalkboard tables and
toys to let the kids creativity come out. There is also a television
playing all the kids classics to keep them entertained.
Kate
Lunavich says she “wants customers to feel welcome and be provided
with good service without having to pay the price of a fine dining
restaurant.”
You
can order cinnamon pancakes for a sweet start in the morning, or the
truly original baked Avocado and Egg. Lunch times are a breeze with a
Moroccan Chicken Burger and the Salt and Pepper combo for dinner is a
crowd favourite.
With
a pending liquor license, Cafe Heart will be transformed into an
elegant wine bar at night, with live music to set the mood. Currently
the cafe offers a BYO service with no corkage.
“A
happy heart is a healthy heart,” says the Lunavich twins.
As
if that was not enough, Café Heart has brought the first Slayer
espresso machine to Newcastle, and is known for being the ‘Ferrari’
of coffee machines.
Now
the Lunavich sisters have added live music on the weekends during
breakfast and dinner time also known as acoustic sessions. Anyone who
can play the guitar and know a few covers should come along.
Café
heart has outstanding customer service; the food is tasteful and has
the overall right balance that only a great family environment can
provide.
