NaClH2OK9 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hi Raiders. The wife and daughter have said the would like to take the boat out on Christmas day.. ( though probably not with the intention of fishingb:( . ) I've only just moved here and haven't had a chance to explore yet. Can anyone recommend a beautiful spot or somewhere great for swimming. At the moment I'm thinking Swansea heads side of the channel. Just for the clear waters for swimming. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 That is the best spot and the islands across it. My avatar, that is the spot. Look at that sunset, beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just to confirm, I am talking about that channel near the airport runway. Along there. Then look at the islands a little further up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camo1808 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hey steve if you google map dobinson drive. As your heading north on dobinson drive there in a street that runs off the left of that. Turn left onto that little road and follow it all the way to the end there is a carpark. That is by far the best swimming spot in lake macquarie. Only a max of 1m or so deep for ages out and water is crystal clear constantly. It is absolutely beautiful on nice hot summer days you see nice cruisers and all sorts of boats pull up and anchor up about 100m off the shore as its shallow enougj. Best part is there is a ban on jetskis on most of the area. It is beautful mate and you wont regret gping there. Thats based on my 22 years of growing up locally Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
