Lake Macquarie

Lake Macquarie, New South Wales

See wild kangaroos up close in the charming towns around Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake. Just south of Newcastle, this scenic region is known for its natural beauty—bushland, coastline, and relaxed local life. Each afternoon, kangaroos leave nearby reserves and wander into parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets, offering amazing, natural encounters. While sightings can’t be guaranteed, every tour so far has been lucky. You might see other locals feeding or touching the kangaroos, but we never recommend doing that, ensuring they remain wild and undisturbed. For nature lovers, Lake Macquarie offers unforgettable moments with iconic Australian wildlife.
