Singles dating guide for The Central Coast and Newcastle. The Central Coast The Central Coast NSW is located 76kms north of Sydney. Prior to the F3 Motorway construction nearly 25 years ago, linking the two areas, commuting to The Central Coast from Sydney was a two and a half hour drive through the winding Pacific Highway. Gosford is the main central business centre of the Central Coast.

The Central Coast experienced a huge housing boom for several years following the construction of the Motorway. This region is a scenic coastal town with a population of 350,000 people. There is a mixed demographic of families, retirees and singles.

Since the construction of the Motorway there was a large influx of people from Sydney who suddenly realized that the distance to The Central Coast had some what been reduced. Interestingly, online dating connections between singles from the two areas rose, again as a result of the shortened distance.

The Central Coast is now considered by many to be an outer Sydney area. For singles living in the Central Coast, an online dating service we spoke to offered some tips as to where the best entertainment venues for singles looking to broaden their dating and social options could be found.

Newcastle.

Newcastle NSW is located 90 kms north of Sydney and is the next major region north of The Central Coast. Novacastrians (as the locals are referred to) are a proud bunch, and still enjoy a certain local atmosphere as Newcastle seemed to avoid much of the migration resulting from the construction of the F3 Motorway. Unlike The Central Coast, Newcastle is a more developed region. 

There is a population of 170,000 people, and enjoys beautiful coastal beaches much the same as The Central Coast does. Traditionally Newcastle is based around industry. Much of the industry that contributed to the economy of Newcastle was a result of BHP which closed its operations in 2000 and had been in operation since 1885.
