A 60th brings together one of the widest spreads of ages of any birthday: the guest of honour's own friends, grown-up children, and grandchildren who need something to do while the speeches run. A daytime party suits that mix, and so does a room where nobody has to stand all afternoon.
Lunch by the water is the natural Newcastle choice. 8 at Trinity seats up to 230 at the Trinity Point marina, with a lawn and terraces outside. The Flotilla in Wickham is the opposite end of the scale: 24 in its private room, Vecina, or 40 in the main dining room, with set menus from $95 per person. In Merewether, Souths Merewether's buffets start from $32.50 per person and its Winsor Terrace seats 260.
For a 60th that goes out on the water, William The Fourth Cruises charters a 32-metre replica of the first ocean-going steamship built in Australia for up to 54 guests, with ramp boarding at Lee Wharf. NOVA Cruises has three boats, two on the harbour and one on the lake, with set lunch, dinner and morning tea menus for groups from about 30 to 95.
