Carrington is a suburbia of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, about 118 kilometres from the state capital, Sydney. This suburb covers an area of 2.039 square kilometres and has a population of more than 2000, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics census in 2022. 50.6% of the people are females, while the rest are males, and the average age of residents is 36. 85% of the population are natural-born Australians, while more than 7% are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The most dominant religion is Catholicism (18.4%), followed by Anglicanism (16.3%).

In the early 1800s, Carrington's area is abundant with Scylla Serrata, a mud crab species found in estuaries and mangroves of Australia and other nearby countries. Aboriginal people used the island primarily for fishing and getting mud crabs and oysters. Initially, the island was underwater at high tide and was built up by ships throwing ballast and reclamation work, which made the area develop out of mud. In 1804, the area was called Chapman’s Island and considered a place for a gaol. In the 1860s, it became a residential area when many people migrated to the site to escape the city noise and dirt pollution or were forced off Honeysuckle Point due to land reclamation for building a port. The area became a municipality in 1887 and is named after Charles Robert Wynn-Carrington, known as Lord Carrington from the late 1860s to mid-1890s and was Governor of the state from 1885 to 1890.

Carrington can be considered a mixed residential, commercial and industrial area, which makes it physically different from its nearby suburbs. Sometimes called The Island, this little town is continuously shaping itself to become one of the popular suburbs of Newcastle. Some statistics of Carrington include

• Most of its street names are based on well-known pre-federation administrators, politicians and monarchs
• More than 40% of the population have no religion

Carrington is sometimes called The Island because of its extensive bodies of water, whether from the area where it stands or its surrounding cities. For example, Nobbys Beach in Port Macquarie is a favourite swimming destination for people who love to surf and see dolphins. Visitors can play outdoor games in the recreational area, enjoy the kiosk selling coffee, chips and burgers and walk along the Nobbys break wall below the iconic Nobbys Lighthouse.

Another body of water near the suburb, Dixon Park Beach, is an excellent beach for people who own a dog. You and your furry friend can walk or run along the majestic seashore. The beach also has a playground and a picnic area, which makes it a perfect place for family gatherings. You can lie on the sand, sip your favourite drink while watching the surfers ride the big waves.

Carrington Pump House is the best place for people who want to visit a historical place within the suburb. The interesting place is a former hydraulic power station that is being carefully repaired for the future. You may feel small like other visitors standing before its door entrance. Other spots you can visit include

• Newcastle Beach
• Sand Dune Safaris
• Blackbutt Nature Reserve
