Heart of the Hunter

Footy has been a big part of life in the Hunter for more than 100 years. With clubs founded from the coalfields to the coast with fans far and wide, it’s a game built on hard work and grit.

It doesn’t matter your age, or what job you do – everyone has one thing in common. They all love footy and they all love the Newcastle Knights.

Fans and the footy. That’s the beating Heart of the Hunter.

Each year we stand together on Voice for Mining Family Day in Newcastle, when the Newcastle Knights proudly wear hi-vis colours and celebrate our mining heritage.

And a new content series from NSW Mining explores the origins of the game in Newcastle and brings together current players, legends and lifelong fans to share their connection with the Newcastle Knights and what makes the game so special.
