Description:
Small town; could match for riverside town in several countries, with a variety of looks. Raymond Terrace (including Tomago and Williamtown) is located on the Hunter river, approximately 177 km north of Sydney via the F2 Freeway and 23 km north of Newcastle. The area was originally occupied by the Worimi Aborigines. The town's name comes from a member of Lieutenant John Shortland's party, by the name of Raymond, who explored the area in 1797. The Lieutenant remarked of the 'terraced appearance of the trees at the junction of the Hunter and Williams River' and the area was then aptly referred to as Raymond’s Terraces. Today, Raymond Terrace is the administrative centre of the Port Stephens Shire. It's also the home of the Newcastle Speedway.
