Hawks Nest is a suburb of the Great Lakes Council local government area in the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia, located north of Port Stephens between the Tasman Sea and the Myall River.〔〔 It was named after a large hawk's nest in a tree on the Myall River that was used as a navigational aid.〔 ==Geography== Hawks Nest is a long (), thin (typically ), coastal suburb running northeast to southwest. The suburb is about north of Sydney, ) from the Pacific Highway. It is bordered by the Tasman Sea to the east, the Myall River to the west and Port Stephens to the south. It includes Yacaaba, the northern headland of Port Stephens, which rises to above mean sea level. However, the rest of the suburb is generally low, flat, sandy and covered in coastal scrubland, with some bushland, resulting in the northern part of the suburb being accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles until the 1980s.〔〔Distance and elevation measurements from 1:100000 maps 9232 NEWCASTLE and 9332 PORT STEPHENS〕 Hawks Nest is located directly across the river from Tea Gardens and was connected by the Singing Bridge in 1974. Before this the river crossing was made by a small car ferry. Most (approximately 95%) of the suburb is still uninhabited with the population concentrated around the Hawks Nest township, on the Myall River and Winda Woppa on Port Stephens.〔
