Trove Tuesday - Lake Macquarie History

A wonderful way to learn about the history of one's local area is via the newspapers that are digitised on Trove.

My Scenic Bewitchery 

Recently I became President of The Lake Macquarie Family History Group. While I am on top of family history research I am, as a newish resident, inadequate in my knowledge of my local area. To rectify this today I turned to Trove with a simple search "lake Macquarie history"~5 .

The top three hits which I will now read are from a series published in 1931. Perhaps you may be interested in reading them too but please note the first article is last in this list..
