From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corlette is a suburb of the Port Stephens Local Government Area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[3] It is located just west of Nelson Bay on the shores of Port Stephens.[4][5] It was named after Captain James Corlette who skippered the cutter Lambton which was the first privately owned local vessel.[4] While property values throughout the suburb average around AUD$475,000, in the most affluent areas on the shores of Salamander Bay individual sale prices of $3.7 million have been realised.[6]
[edit] Geography
Corlette is located on the southern shores of Port Stephens with approximately 75% of the suburb's 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) of coastline being occupied by 3 beaches. Its western border forms the shoreline of Salamander Bay, after which the adjoining suburb of Salamander Bay is named. On its northern shoreline are two beaches. The largest of these, Bagnall's Beach, gives it's name to a large housing estate within the suburb.
