City of Newcastle was an iron paddlewheeler owned and operated by the Hunter River New Steam Navigation Company. In this role she was mainly engaged to operate between Morpeth and Sydney as a coastal steamer.
In 1861 she was chartered by Henry Gilbert Smith to run excursions to Manly; this seams to have been repeated on several occassions in 1862 and 1867.
City of Newcatle ran aground at Nobby's Beach on September 12th 1878, no lives were lost and the vessel was a total loss.
