KNOWLEDGE OF Lake Macquarie
Lake Macquarie is a lake and a city located 150km north of Sydney, Australia, and immediately (20km) south of Newcastle. The city of Lake Macquarie has an estimated population of 189,150 as of June 2003 (Australian Bureau of Statistics)and is the 4th largest Local Government Area in NSW by population.
There is some confusion among Australians about the classification of places within the Lake Macquarie LGA, some people calling them independent towns, some calling them suburbs of Newcastle. Residents of Lake Macquarie generally regard themselves as citizens of Newcastle. Lake Macquarie is seen as Newcastle's slightly larger neighbour, with its own independent local government. The largest commercial centre in the region is Charlestown which has a turnover greater than the Newcastle CBD.
Lake Macquarie is Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake, covering an area of 110 km2. It is saltwater due to being connected to the Pacific Ocean by a narrow but short channel. The land separating it from the ocean is only a few kilometres wide along most of its length. The lake is of irregular shape and in the middle of the lake is an island, (Pulbah Island), popular for camping. There is no point on the coast from which you can see the entire expanse or its 150km foreshore. However, a good view can be obtained from lookouts in the nearby Watagan Mountains.
