We also have two small lakes that you can have a picnic by or drop some Marron nets in for a fresh feed. There are weighing scales provided at the shed so you can pay for them. This is on an honesty system- so please do the right thing, as we have already been burnt from the fires. You must contact me if you wish to fish for marron prior to catching any.

There is also a tinny (small boat) on the edge of the lake, with life jackets- please be advised you use this at your own risk. Please feel free to jump in the lake for a refreshing swim!
