SERENDIP SANCTUARY

Public BBQ

A free nature sanctuary at Lara, normally known for its wallabies, emus and waterbirds, with walking trails through open grassland and around a lake. At the time of writing it is in the middle of a major redevelopment: many tracks are closed or churned up by machinery, the barbecue and picnic area and the animal walk are shut, and the lake has been largely drained, so wildlife sightings have been thin. Portable toilets are in place and kept reasonably clean. It still makes a pleasant bush wander, but it is worth checking the Parks Victoria website before making the trip - by all accounts it will be well worth returning to once the work is finished.
