Lake Macquarie Classic Boatfest

LOCAL Information, Attractions and Accommodation

The Lake Macquarie and District Historical Society will be displaying a wonderful collection of historic photographs and memorabilia at the 101-year old Toronto Railway Station. On both days of the Easter weekend, members will provide Devonshire Tea to visitors as they relax on the platform overlooking picturesque Lake Macquarie.

In 2011, our local steam train enthusiasts provided a double decker bus to transport families from the foreshore on the 10 minute trip to ride on the antique steam trains, which will hopefully be organised for 2012. A small charge applied.

Location:

The city of Lake Macquarie is located 90 minutes north of Sydney, the northern tip of the lake is only 15 minutes from Newcastle and we are only 40 minutes from the Hunter Wine Country and the NSW Central Coast.
