Hunter Travel Guide

I live here and there's a park right on the shore of Lake Macquarie (Australia's largest salt water lake, as in one that actually has water in it all the time).
There's a lovely park, sadly without facilities, just down the road and it's a wonderful spot to shoot sunrises or view some bird life.

Stockton Beach gets seriously big when storm surf rolls in, making for some spectacular scenes. This was taken in June 2019 when a southerly push the swell up. Going out is impossible here, even bulk freighters have run aground under these conditions.

Watching the ferries coming and going at Stockton. Newcastle City in NSW is in the distance.

NEWCASTLE’S NEW ANZAC MEMORIAL WALK
A new addition to Newcastle is the Anzac Memorial Bridge along Memorial Drive. With stunning coastal views across the water and in the other direction the city, this is a walk worth doing.
