Gwandalan is a unique little place nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie. It is a peaceful, friendly suburb with a lot of young families. People greet you in the street and all the shopkeepers are so relaxed and amiable. My partner and I moved here because we wanted somewhere close to Sydney yet far enough away to be affordable. Your money certainly goes a long way up here compared to Sydney! I knew I could tolerate the daily commute to Sydney for my work for as long as it took to find suitable employment up here. Fortunately, it took just a few months but now I have now secured work less than twenty minutes away which I am so happy about. It may take you less time than that..
The lifestyle here is fantastic. You can stroll down to the lake for a walk, swim or a fish. If you like boating or kayaking, you'd be in heaven here! The nearest surf beach, beautiful Catherine Hill Bay is a ten minute drive away. National Parks, stunning coastline and lots of attractions are all very close. Major shopping centres are not too far either.
I feel it is a great safe place for kids. Lots of happy children can be seen. There is a school, childcare,medical centre and dentist in town too. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, are sick of working so hard to afford the inferior, stressful life of the city, you should come up here and take a look!
