Turning Beer into Whine: An Exploration of Newcastle and Hunter Valley Establishments

Abstract

“An Exploration of Newcastle & Hunter Valley Drinking Establishments” examines the shift in identity within people and establishments throughout pubs and clubs in the local area, and looks at some of the contributing influences that create this change. The paper incorporates ficto-critical exploration, poetry, photography and sociological analysis to grasp the vastly varied cultures within these establishments, and discover the artifice of patrons, staff, and the establishments themselves.
