Honeysuckle Point near Newcastle NSW

Hi
Does anyone know what this area might be called/come under now? I've looked on G Maps and there doesn't seem to be a settlement of any sort there now. What "suburb" might it have come under in abt 1864

Thanks in advance
Meegan

Right on the waterfront in central Newcastle port - now called Honeysuckle Foreshore.
There used to be large railway workshops there and now there is the museum.
The original old hotel was called “The Locomotive”, then “The Civic”, on Hunter Street.

Thanks Neale

My GGGrandfather worked as a carpenter on the railways so that is interesting
