International Air Race Series to be held above Lake Macquarie in coup for regional NSW
November 18th to 20th, 2022
In the air race, pilots compete in a sprint competition to gain the fastest times as they navigate through a series of air gates.
Lake Macquarie, two hours north of Sydney in New South Wales, is just one of four locations on the International Air Race Series circuit and the only one in Australia.
Matt Hall has lived the high life, literally. The former fighter pilot has traveled the world competing in the world’s fastest motorsport: the white-knuckle pursuit of air racing.
The reigning air race champion is flying extra high as come November, he is set to compete in front of a home crowd.
“It’s going to be fantastic competing in front of a home crowd because you know everyone there is cheering you on,” Hall said.
Key points:
- Reigning Air Race world champion to compete in front of his home crowd
- Lake Macquarie chosen as one of four Air Race Series rounds
- Air Racing “much tougher” than being a fighter pilot
Float your Boat
Float Your Boat is an annual open competition for boat owners to dress their boats with lights and take part in a flotilla parade for cash prizes. The parade of illuminated boats make their way directly past Watersedge Boathouse B&B.

Held on our beautiful Lake Macquarie, spectators will line the shores to watch boats in a rainbow of colours cruise past before casting their vote for the People’s Choice Award.
