Lake Macquarie is only a short distance from Sydney, located between The Central Coast and Newcastle.



Recently, we invited our favourite uncle, Uncle Phil, to join us for a fishing trip on Lake Macquarie. The main idea is to get him away from busy Sydney onto a more idyllic location which Australia is famous for.


The lake itself is the largest coastal saltwater lake in Australia, over four times the size of Sydney Harbour.

Arriving at Lake Macquarie is easy from Sydney. Just head north and find your way to the F3 Entrance at Wahroongah (near to Hornsby) and take the freeway. Travelling on the F3 freeway from Sydney will have you arriving in 90 minutes!!

For east Lake Macquarie (Swansea, Belmont, Charlestown) take the Budgewoi Swansea Charlestown exit and use the brown and white signage.  For west Lake Macquarie, take the Morisset, Toronto or Cardiff exits and use the brown and white signage

The lake is 24 km long and has 174 km of foreshore, with it's beautiful bays and beaches.
The eastern side of the Lake Macquarie Area border the Pacific Ocean with it's long sandy beaches.
On the western side Lake Macquarie adjoins the Watagan Mountains.
The Lake Macquarie region offers opportunities for Fishing, Swimming, Water Skiing, Surfing, Boating, Hiking, Horse Back Riding, Wine Tasting and much more.

Uncle Phil has a nice time cruising on the lake on our boat, and thanks to his blessings and the luck that he bring with him, we have a good catch! We brought home 5 fish! However, our total catch of the day is 10 but we need to put 5 back into the lake! :(



In his own words, this is one of the best trip away from Sydney that he had, "plan also can't plan until so good!"
