Birdie Beach and Lake Munmorah

Lake Munmorah

The Lake Munmorah area is the far north of the Central Coast, where the Pacific Highway runs between Lake Munmorah, the southern shores of Lake Macquarie and the bush of the state conservation area. Work here mixes boat trailers, caravans and family cars on lakeside streets with trucks and travellers on the highway at Doyalson.

Suburbs in Lake Munmorah

Lake Munmorah is the biggest town here, with four schools on Carters Road and the conservation area close by. North of it, Chain Valley Bay, Gwandalan, Summerland Point and Mannering Park face Lake Macquarie and are linked to the highway by a few long roads. Doyalson, Doyalson North and Wallarah are smaller, with the Motorway Link bringing M1 traffic into Doyalson. Power stations and coal mines shaped the area for decades, and Vales Point Power Station still stands beside Mannering Park. Boats, highway kilometres and bush roads drive most of the work.

Common auto electrical jobs in Lake Munmorah

Lakes on every side, long highway runs and stretches of unlit road through the bush set the auto electrical work across the far north of the Coast.

Boat ramps on two lakes

Between the ramp at Lions Park in Gwandalan, Boat Harbour at Summerland Point and the shores of Lake Munmorah, boat trailers are everywhere here. Regular launching wears out plugs and lights, and water inside a lamp soon rusts the contacts. Sealed LED lights, a dedicated earth wire and a freshwater rinse after each trip keep them working. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps track down faults.

Driving lights for bush roads

Kanangra Drive, the Pacific Highway north of Doyalson and the roads around the conservation area pass through long stretches of bush with little street lighting, and wildlife is common at dawn and dusk. Good headlights and a pair of quality driving lights help you see further. Driving lights should run through a relay and switch on only with high beam. Our guide on wiring a 12V relay shows the basics.

Trucks at the Doyalson junction

The Motorway Link brings M1 traffic into Doyalson, where it meets the Pacific Highway and the Central Coast Highway, so heavy vehicles pass through every day. Most run 24V systems, and fitting 12V globes, relays or accessories by mistake causes quick failures. Matched batteries, clean earths and 24V-rated parts keep trucks running reliably. Check the trailer plug and suzie coils too, as they take a beating on every hook-up.

Caravans heading north

With the M1 a few minutes away, plenty of locals tow caravans north for holidays. Newer tow vehicles often have smart alternators that drop their output once the car's battery is full, which leaves the caravan battery undercharged. A DC-DC charger in the van fixes that, and makes sure the fridge and house battery are full when you arrive. Our guide on what a smart alternator is explains why it matters.
