Hi Guys,

The HARS Catalina VH-PBZ attended the annual Catalina Festival at the former RAAF Sea Plane Base at Rathmines on Lake Macquarie on Saturday. The festival celebrates the use of the base by Catalinas during WW11.

Lake Macquarie is the largest salt water lake in Australia and is just north of Sydney.

Over 15,000 people attended the Festival at Rathmines. Here's some links:
