Bonnells Bay is a suburb of the City of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, and is located on a peninsula east of the town of Morisset on the western side of Lake Macquarie.
[edit] History
The town, known as Morisset East until 1948, is named for the bay on which it sits, which is part of Lake Macquarie.
The area was subdivided in 1886, but no township was established until after World War II. The township grew, and a small shopping centre built, after the development of the Eraring Power Station in the 1980s. A school operated from 1912 onwards.
