| With the whole Gold Coast/ Newcastle thing, it all depends on where you draw the boundaries. Some people used to consider Newcastle to be larger by including the reasonably large populations of the Central Coast and Hunter Valley in their statistics. I wouldn't. They are completely seperate entities. Someone who lives at Tuggerah would not say "I live in Newcastle." They would say "I live on the central coast."
So no, the Gold Coast has been larger than Newcastle for many years. |
