Please note

• For your own safety, please don't feed the kangaroos or approach them closely, as they can become aggressive.
• Kangaroos are wild animals so please don't feed them as this can lead to them becoming unhealthy.
• Remember to pack your binoculars if you want to go bird watching for sea eagles and cormorants

Enjoy a family picnic on the foreshore and try your luck with a spot of fishing while you're here. The area is also great for spotting sea eagles and cormorants. Be sure to remind the kids to keep an eye out for sea turtles along the shore too.

This open grassy area is perfect for the little ones to run around. After lunch you might like to push a kayak out onto the calm blue waters. Bring your camera to capture the beautiful views and the wildlife that lives in, around, and above the lake.
