Salamander Bay is a suburb of the Port Stephens Local Government Area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[3] Named after the adjacent shallow bay, itself named after the "Salamander", a convict ship, which was the first European vessel to enter Port Stephens (1791), it is a mainly residential suburb with a large shopping centre.[8] It is home to Tomaree High School and a TAFE facility.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^  The density presented is that of the whole suburb. However, only about 3.5 square kilometres (1.35 sq mi), or about 41%, of the suburb is residential in nature. The remainder of the suburb consists mainly of unpopulated scrubland, coastal reserves and beaches.[8] The population density of the residential portion of the suburb is much higher at 1,193 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,090/sq mi).
