Didn't even try to pronounce this when booking, but glad we decided to come. A large lake (3km around) in a bush setting complete with white sandy beaches (they truck the sand in), a playground, picnic areas with bbq's, numerous walking tracks and a camping area (with hot showers!). We ended up staying 3 nights as it was so lovely. Did a few walks around the lake (I managed to get lost on my first walk with Jackson and ended up on a very rough track for about half hour, bumped into a lizard though so it was good). Emilia did heaps of bike riding and we all did kayaking. The nearby town (Chidlow) had a lovely bakery (with gluten and dairy free options) so we all sampled their goods.
Camp ground was covered in large gum nuts so we made gum nut people and the kids entertained themselves using the bush debris to make fairy land and dinosaur land. The camp areas had an unusually large amount of millipedes and Jackson spent a lot of time investigating the 'worms'. Emilia and I had a frog in our shower, we had bandicoots investigating our camp at night, there were numerous bird species around (including lorikeets- Emilia's fave) and Jackson and Daniel came face to face with a large kangaroo on a night time torch walk. We will definitely be back on our way down south at the end of the year (it is only 40km from Perth).
