LAKE MANCHESTER

Public BBQ

A quiet day use area on Lake Manchester with one shelter holding a gas barbecue, several tables, clean toilets and plenty of lawn to picnic on. Two kilometres of gravel road gets you in. The 18 km circuit around the lake is the main event: about five hours, plenty of hills, and best walked clockwise so the steepest climbs come first - the fire trails on the western side are steep, the first section floods, and the halfway rest area has neither tables nor toilets. The path is not suited to prams or wheelchairs, though the day use area itself is. Water is on tap but not safe to drink, so carry your own. Fishing and paddle boarding are allowed; boats and swimming are not, dogs are not permitted, and the dam wall is closed. Bring repellent for the horse flies, and watch the kookaburras and butcher birds around your lunch.
