come for a walk... a nice view from the Surf life saver's lookout...this wind sock must be for the parachuters who regularly land here... lots of room for everyone, and every beach and water activity...from the surf on one side.. a walk through the bush along the edge of the lake even a scrub turkey too multi-story apartment buildings the lake provides lots of room and activities for the whole family...many families...what a lovely place.
