Diamond Strip Area Bars and Pubs

The Diamond Strip area of Newcastle consists roughly speaking of the bars and pubs on Collingwood Street and Mosley Street, just to the east of the Central Station area.  The origins of the term "Diamond Strip" seem to have come from the marketing people of various new bars that have opened in the area and has subsequently been taken on and used by other new bars over the last 4 or 5 years.  Some of the bars in this area do not necessarily fit into and use the original marketing idea / name and conversely, the area does include 2 or 3 bars that are not actually on "the strip", but do like to include themselves as part of the "scene".
