Where: Wallarah Peninsula, Lake Macquarie

Picture this… a parkland rich with wildlife, lake views and new, modern, clean toilets. Where else would you find a haven as blissful as Murray’s Beach? Located five minutes south of Swansea on the Wallarah Peninsula it provides the perfect setting for a family day out. The playground equipment is state-of-the-art, and built over a sandpit for those budding young excavators. There are shelters, free barbecue facilities, smooth paths for scooters and skating, and a nice long jetty perfect for a spot of fishing. This park is definitely worth a look; especially for those who appreciate a bit of shade from the summer sun.
