[QUOTE="nucopia, post: 592911, member: 5588"] Shingle Slitters point Yarrawonga Park is a very popular picnic area and boat ramp on the weekends. Its less then a kilometer walk along the lake shore from where we live. When our three were still young we would picnic there, swim and take them fishing. I sometimes swing the coin detector there during the week when its relatively quiet and few people are around . Shark sightings in Lake Macquarie have been increasing over the last decade and many believe that is due to the commercial fishing ban that has allowed fish stocks to multiply and attracting sharks to enter the lake to feed and also breed there.
