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.
