Newcastle is Australia's "Goldilocks" city. But it isn't the only one. Other cities are monikered as Goldilocks cities according to The City Report published in June 2020. The Committee for the Hunter's CEO Alice Thompson also mentioned Newcastle as a Goldilocks city in the Newcastle Herald in the following April.
Correspondent Mark Mathot from Mayfield East fired the "Goldilocks" reference up again last week with a glowing recommendation to this masthead ('Newcastle is Australia's 'Goldilocks' city', Letters, 17/8/) about how he and some others view Australia's seventh largest city, albeit with a proviso about "not ruining the elements that make our town so special".
