merewether beach
Newcastle Surfest acknowledges the Awabakal people as the traditional custodians of the land and water at Merewether.
A National Surfing Reserve, Merewether is rich in aboriginal culture and is still used today for traditional Awabakal resources and teachings. The Sea Eagle is the Awabakal totem, a story linking sky, land, and sea. We pay our respects to the Awabakal people, their Elders past, present and future and extend this acknowledgement to all first nations people.
