This street is lined with an array of cafes, bookstores, coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants that offer everything from Indian to Vietnamese food. If you’re a rugby fan, you should definitely check out a game at Hunter Stadium, which is a short walk from Broadmeadow Station and hosts NRL (National Rugby League) games in the fall and winter.

This is an ideal location for having a picnic, sailing, fishing, and just to enjoy the view.
