  • A nice easy drive into the national park through bushland. There are 2 lovely picnic spots with barbeques and sandy areas near the water. We walked the 6 km track which was a very easy walk.

  • In Google, look for “werri berri picnic area”. Good, clean bbq area. Lake view is good. But playing in water is difficult. Good for kayaking, if you have the stuffs. Unpaved road is little rough. Overall, it’s a good place to have a break and have food on your trips.
  • There's no doubting how special Thirlmere lakes are. Mankind has left his mark here, defiling it and abused it. But the lakes retain there truly overwhelming sense of nature and some of its finest work is afoot. Loads of bird life, insects and animals. One can only wonder what this was like before human infection. It's a day visit locality only. There are no rubbish bins here so take your pollution home with you. There are a few scattered toilets, Gas BBQs, picnic tables. There are no shelters here. Swimming is permitted, as is kayaking. As most Australian's are pyromaniac's I believe there are steep fines for burning in a national park. This a truly nice place just to spend time.
