EDITION 20
Local Insights:
Western Suburbs
Old mining streets meet newer estates, where the houses give way to bushland, walking and mountain bike trails. As the afternoons stretch, families make the most of them, wearing out the kids or popping to the local shops for the essentials.
MUST VISIT
Drop In Espresso Bar,
107 Nelson St, Wallsend
Drop In Espresso Bar is the kind of Wallsend local worth lingering in — warm, buzzy and full of regulars. The coffee’s seriously good, and the food holds its own: bacon and egg rolls, birria toasties, fresh salads and pastries, with vegetarian and vegan options always there.
