Around it nowadays. Once the expressway went through you needed to turn off to get to Gosford.
Before then it was on the highway.

Re: Beach or bush?
Deborah have you ever sighted a shark in the lake yourself?
We have lived here 20+ yrs & never actually seen a shark in our bay, l' m not for one minute saying there aren't any but we have never seen one. Spent countless hours out on our yacht, kayaking, motor boating, swimming etc., all around the lake &
sitting on our front deck never have we seen a sharks.
Since the trawling was stopped it's amazing how many more sea creatures we are seeing, even had a couple of sea urchins growing on our jetty & found a sea horse. Once we had a large turtle at the end of the jetty & we have seen dolphins in the lake.
Certainly is a lovely area to live & come home to after travelling around our amazing country.

Re: Beach or bush?
Certainly will but it will be a scotch & Coke I don't drink much wine
Bruce's parents had a weekender at Toukley when he was 4 years old he certainly has some childhood stories about catching prawns by the bucket load his mother eventually retired into it unfortunately his Dad died at 62 yrs.
Think that they still trawl Tuggerah Lakes, co-op still at Toukley & Tuggerwong, unfortunately.

Re: Beach or bush?
I can remember prawning at Tuggerah Lakes using a 2 man net, 1 trawl would fill the 12 gallon drum we had on the shore boiling away ready for the catch.
Wow, good memories...
