You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Cardiff''' is a small town in the [[City of Lake Macquarie|Lake Macquarie LGA]] of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]].

It is located ((convert|17|km|mi|0)) west-southwest of [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]].

Cardiff is home to two government primary schools, a Catholic primary school and a government high school. It has its own commercial centre with a post office, pub (hotel), real estate agencies, take-away shops, a record store, two opportunity stores, numerous hairdressers and two supermarkets.

==History==
The Aboriginal people, in this area, the [[Awabakal]], were the first people of this land.<ref>((Cite web|title=Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people|url=https://www.lakemac.com.au/For-residents/Community/Aboriginal-and-Torres-Strait-Islander-people|access-date=8 September 2020|website=Lake Macquarie City))</ref>

The first grant to a white settler in the Cardiff area was a parcel of ((convert|2560|acre|km2)) to George Weller in 1833, stretching west of the current Macquarie Road to Argenton and Cockle Creek. Other selections were taken up by individual settlers from 1862 to the east of the Weller grant. The locality became known as Winding Creek after the stream which wound its way from south-east to north-west across the central valley of the area.

In the latter part of the 19th century two factors attracted people to the Winding Creek area. One was [[coal mining]], with the Lymington (1882) and South Wallsend (1884, later renamed Cardiff) collieries both starting production in the vicinity of the current Cardiff South. The other was the decision to construct the Sydney to Newcastle railway, which led to a navvies camp being established at Winding Creek in 1883, and work continuing through most of the rest of the decade. The line originally ran close to current Myall Rd, however the gradient from Cardiff up to [[Tickhole Tunnel]] proved too steep for the trains of the period, and the line was relocated to the present position a few years after it was opened.

For a short period in the 1880s Lymington became the popular name for the whole Cardiff area, supplanting Winding Creek, however it fell foul of the postal authorities, because of its similarity to another, established locality name. There were a number of [[Welsh people|Welsh]] settlers living in the area, and on the suggestion of one of them, James Edwards, the name Cardiff was chosen after the capital of [[Cardiff|Wales]]. It was officially adopted in 1889.

==Education==
The suburb is home to two government primary schools, Cardiff Public School and Cardiff North Public School; a government secondary school, Cardiff High School; and a Catholic primary school, St. Kevin's Primary School.

Cardiff High School, opened in late 1962, is a public secondary school located at 30 Boronia Street in Cardiff serving Cardiff, [[Cardiff South, New South Wales|Cardiff South]], [[Garden Suburb, New South Wales|Garden Suburb]], [[Hillsborough, New South Wales|Hillsborough]], and [[Macquarie Hills, New South Wales|Macquarie Hills]] areas.  It celebrated its 50th birthday in 2013.

==Population statistics==
According to the [[2016 Australian census|2016 census]], there were 5,830 people in Cardiff and surrounding areas including Garden Suburb, Cardiff Heights, Cardiff South, Cardiff North and Hillborough.
* Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 4.0% of the population. 
* 86.0% of people were born in Australia. The next most common country of birth was England at 1.7%.   
* 90.8% of people spoke only English at home. 
* The most common responses for religion were No Religion 32.5%, Catholic 20.7% and Anglican 20.1%.<ref name="ABS"/>

==Retail==
Cardiff has a small shopping centre, as well as numerous small specialty stores. There are two supermarkets.

The Cardiff Shopping Centre features a liquor store, newsagency, bakery, sushi cafe, hairdresser, and travel agency.

==Sporting clubs==
Cardiff has sporting clubs for the following sports: 
* Cricket (Warners Bay–Cardiff Junior Cricket Club, Cardiff–Boolaroo District Cricket Club, Ulinga Cricket Club)
* Rugby League (Cardiff Cougars, [[Cardiff Cobras]])
* Football (soccer) ([[Cardiff JSFC]])
* Lawn Bowls [https://www.cardiffbowlingclub.com.au/ (Cardiff Bowling Club)]
* Netball (Cardiff Netball Club)
* [[Australian rules football]] (Cardiff Hawks)

==Industrial Estate==
Cardiff is a major employment area thanks to the Cardiff Industrial Estate, which is the highest employing area in the Hunter region.

Around half of that industrial estate is accessible only via one section of Munibung Road, a two-lane road between two T-intersections (Torrens Avenue and Mitchell Road) which experience frequent crashes.  The intersection of Munibung Road with Macquarie Road and Myall Road is the main access point for the entire industrial estate and suffers from some of the most severe congestion in the [[Hunter Region]].

A proposal exists for the extension of Pennant Street over the railway line to a roundabout connecting to Main Road near Glendale Drive and to the end of Stockland Drive inside the [[Stockland Glendale]] shopping centre. The proposal also includes the construction of a new railway station for access to the industrial estate and the Glendale shopping centre. The proposal is ready to proceed but has been awaiting state government funding for several years.

In 2021 Munibung Road was extended through the redeveloped former [[Cockle Creek Smelter|Pasminco Sulphide]] site, connecting through the new light industrial and residential development to T C Frith Avenue in [[Boolaroo, New South Wales|Boolaroo]].

==Railway==
[[File:Cardiff railway station, NSW.JPG|right|thumb|Cardiff railway station]]
The [[Main North railway line, New South Wales|main northern railway line]] passes through Cardiff to the north of the industrial estate and commercial centre. [[Cardiff railway station, New South Wales|Cardiff railway station]] is located on Main Road up a steep hill from the commercial centre.

The railway station has a single [[island platform]], which is located between the two tracks.

Two carparks are provided on the southern side of the railway station. A small carpark is located directly alongside the southbound track, while a larger carpark is located down another steep staircase. Both carparks are also accessible by lifts.
