Warabrook is a north-western suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, located 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Newcastle's central business district. It is part of the City of Newcastle local government area.
It has a railway station (opened in 1997 to serve the nearby University of Newcastle in Callaghan and Warabrook) on CityRail's Hunter line.[1] The railway line is part of the Newcastle-Maitland line, the first section of the Main North line from Sydney to the New England region, opened in 1857.
Warabrook is serviced by two bus routes between Jesmond and Newcastle. The suburb is primarily residential but also includes a shopping centre, an aged care facility and a light industrial area.
