Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area


Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area is a conservation area in New South Wales Australia, approximately from Newcastle. It is made up of six separate land sections around the coastal saltwater Lake Macquarie, covering of the lake's foreshore. Though most of the area was declared in 1996 one section, the Morisset area, was added in January 1999.
Part of the 250 km Great North Walk passes through the conservation area. The conservation area, and adjacent Pulbah Island Nature Reserve, protect some of Lake Macquarie's little remaining natural bushland, and vegetation communities that are not present elsewhere in the state's park system.
