Living in Lake Macquarie is amazing because we can go to the beach on a hot summer’s day. We can go in the crystal-clear water on my surfboard, catch some fish and even 4WD on some of the beautiful beaches of Lake Macquarie. Lake Macquarie is HUGE! If you walk through it, it will feel like walking forever. The good thing is the beach is 5 minutes away.
