BRIDGEWATER SWIMMING HOLE

Public BBQ

A swimming hole on the Loddon at Bridgewater, and a far better one than the river's reputation suggests: the water runs clear over a weir with grassy banks either side. There are clean toilets, drinking water, an electric barbecue, seats, bins and good shade, with more of it if you walk past the main area to the left. It gets busy on a hot day, being half an hour from Bendigo. The swimming is excellent but suits confident swimmers, as some spots drop away steeply right at the edge, the rocks are mossy and slippery and there are submerged logs, so supervise children closely. Platypus have been seen in the rapids below the weir. The bakery in town is the traditional accompaniment.
