Tomago is a combined industrial/semi-rural suburb of the Port Stephens Local Government Area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located just north of the Hunter River and west of the body of water known as Fullerton Cove.DoL suburb image|name=Tomago|codename=same|accessdate=2008-06-15] Tomago means "sweet water" in the local Aboriginal language.

Geography

Tomago is primarily flat with sandy soil and is surrounded on three sides by water. The Hunter River flows around the western and southern borders of the suburb. To the east is Fullerton Cove. Consequently there is no direct access to the land portion of the neighbouring suburbs of Tarro, Kooragang or Fullerton Cove. Access to Hexham is only possible via the Hexham bridges, which are actually located in the suburb of Tarro.

Industry

Major industrial sites in the area are the Tomago aluminium smelter, FORGACS Shipyard Tomago and the Tomago Sandbeds water treatment works.
