Lake Macquarie & District Historical Society Inc. will be open from 10am on
Saturday and Sunday of the Heritage Afloat Festival at Toronto, Easter
Weekend.

Lake Macquarie Heritage Centre, Victory Parade, Toronto, NSW. The restored
Railway Station houses the memorabilia, archives and the historical
photograph collection of the Lake Macquarie & District Historical Society.

Heritage Afloat is recognised as the most significant and distinctive
lakeside event in Lake Macquarie - the largest saltwater lake in Australia,
which offers something for everyone!

This very successful major maritime event will again be held over two days
on the Easter Long Weekend, Saturday 7th April and Sunday 8th April 2007 at
Toronto, Lake Macquarie.

The festival utilises the Toronto foreshore, the parklands, launching ramps
and the enclosure and jetties for a wide range of marine related activities.
Heritage Afloat includes the participation and exhibition of traditional and
classic boats - steam, sail, motor and oared craft of all sizes from all
over Australia.

A parade of boats, sailing, Putt-Putt and rowing races, a nautical treasure
hunt, demonstrations, blessing of the fleet, displays relating to heritage
boat activities, boats and boat bits on sale, vintage cars and hotrods, kids
games, live entertainment and of course the "Quick and Dirty" boat building
competition all combine to make Heritage Afloat a wonderful experience for
people of all ages.
Food and wine outlets both around and on the foreshore will cater for all
tastes whilst live entertainment - jazz, rock and folk - will be on the
Rotunda throughout the weekend.
