Lake/ River/ Ponds to Explore in Australia

Anakie Gorge Walk

Anakie Gorge Walk is a 11.3 kilometer loop trail located near Staughton Vale, Victoria, Australia that features a lake. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips and is accessible year-round. The Anakie Gorge is steep and rocky, making for picturesque views with dry forest and high escarpments.

Lake Catani

An artifical lake in Mount Buffalo National Park. Lake Catani provided a popular venue for visitors, with boating and fishing in summer and ice-skating in winter. A campground is located near the shores of the lake.

Lysterfield Park

Lysterfield Park was the venue for mountain biking events of the 2006 Commonwealth Games. It features a wide array of trails suitable for XC and trail MTB riding.

Murray-Sunset National Park

A favorite for bushwalkers as the nearest semi-arid region to Melbourne. Hikes include circuits of Lake Crosbie and Lake Kenyon, and the three-day Sunset walking track. The special attraction here is the pink lakes. In late summer a red pigment, carotene, is secreted from the alga Dunaliella salina and gives a distinct pink color to the lake.

Shallow Inlet

A shallow, curving, 18 square kilometers tidal embayment with a single channel to the sea. The inlet has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports over 1% of the world populations of double-banded plovers and red-necked stints, and has supported the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot.

Wattamolla Beach

With a cove, a lagoon, a waterfall, and a beach, it is a beautiful isolated spot in Royal National Park.
