Yep central coast and newcastle are both an easy drive up the M1 from sydney, and I certainly believe there are some taking advantage of the high sydney prices and selling, then relocating north to central coast/newcastle where you can buy a similar property close to the beach for a fraction of the price that they sold their sydney dwelling for.Its an absolute no-brainier for retires....
